In the moments that it took you to load this webpage and start reading this blog someone has fallen in love, a mom told her little girl that she loves her, a father said goodbye to his dying son, a national leader decided to continue with his commitment to peace, you decided to take another breath.  When we take a moment to reflect we see the magnificence that is happening even when it seems like nothing is happening.  Our ego likes that story–we are stuck, there is nothing happening, we need to find something to do.  Maybe we just need to be present to the shift of the sun, the caress of the sun, the blooming of a flower, the touch of a loved one, the sound of laughter of a child, and all the other little seemingly unimportant things that remind us we are the gift of life.  It is hard when we are in the day-to-day grind and focused on making things happen to stop and be amazed at what is and who we are being, but it is that focus that feeds our spirits.  It is the recognition of the amazing things that remind our hearts that it is a wise choice to take that next breath.  My prayer for us today is that when we find ourselves frustrated and not seeing the point of it all, to in the inhale ask God to remind us how that inhale is the most amazing thing to happen at that moment.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
