My word for 2018 is focus, which requires paying attention to the moment – the now. So, this year, I’ll be taking note of experiences I may have missed, without focus. Many may seem to be BGO’s (blinding glimpses of the obvious), but hey, I might have missed them.

Here’s this week of NOWS:

grateFULLy celebrating the service of friends;

inadvertenlty bringing two dragonflies into my house, when they hitched a ride on the flowers I also brought in;

remembering that I have 86,4000 seconds every.single.day AND I get to choose how I live each one of them;

that meetings really can last and hour or less;

seeing baby zinnias grow;

realizing it’s been more than three weeks, since I last watered my outdoor plants;

how the process of slicing, dicing, peeling, and smelling simmering vegetable soup is almost better than eating it;

how territorial hummingbirds are;

watching the same butterfly for 13 minutes;

holding Bloss on my lap for the entire duration of a major thunder storm;

the profound power of female friendships;

how sacred it is to reconnect family connections; and

falling asleep to the sound of rain.

What NOWS did you experience or witness this week?
