Walk outside in the early morning these past few days around Baltimore, Maryland and it’s all you want to do. Just be. Just be right where you are, just be still, just be in the moment.
Days like these are rare, especially this time of year, it reminds you of the perfect spring day, or the finest hours of fall. Yes these are the dog days of August, but on days like these, even the dogs are taking notice. Cool temperatures, a slight breeze and the warm summer sun, it’s hard not to think about just being still. I heard a weather guy say today is forecast to be the third best day… of all time. 😉 We know it’s tongue-in-cheeck, but it’s hard to argue.
It’s days like today, that your first step outdoors makes you want to stay in step for the rest of the day, right in place. There’s something about the perfect day that makes even the biggest challenges melt away, or at least for a few moments seem so small.
A day like today should teach you a lesson, should be a reminder, to just be present. Pay attention to detail, realize that no matter what might be swirling around you, or inside you, what is in front of you, behind you, below you, above you, is about as beautiful as it gets. Once in a while the world and Mother Nature are in perfect harmony.
Be in the moment because these moments are rare. But if you pay attention to days like today, and remember these days and live to capture the feeling in your heart, mind and soul, then so much is possible. And it will help you get through the days when those feelings aren’t as strong.
So soak it in. Be inspired. Be present. Be in the moment.
Just be.
Until next time, thanks for taking the time.
