I hate how the mind works sometimes, it plays tricks, it works all the time. I think all the time, sometimes so much that I overthink or lose track of thoughts.
I want to work harder on just enjoying life. Tonight as I walked with my two girls around the complex parking lot. The simplicity of joy that they discovered awed me. I stood and listened in amazement at their simple discorveries. Grace, finding her "shark teeth" and "light up bugs" and Faithie looking at the stars and calling them "light, mommy light!!" The simple treasures in life that we forget to pay attention to as we age and let the worries and frustrations of life take over.
This has been an unusual summer for us. For the first time since we have been married we have no worry or concern for things. We don't wonder about phone calls, hospital visits or worry who will be upset when we return from vacation or if we spend the day fishing. Right now our biggest worry is, where to go fishing and what do we do with our plants while on vacation. I think I can handle that. So in spending more time with the girls an less time on school or worries. I have begun to notice the little things. I laid on a blanket with my two year old and enjoyed looking at the stars, I sat there and had Grace show me the "shark teeth" that she had found and suddenly I began to appreciate the simplicity of life and the enjoyment of just being. I remember once reading the verse, Be still and know that I am God and today, I lived it. Thanks girls!!!:)
