What provokes these thoughts and feelings?
Is it the fresh air?
Warmer temperatures?
Physical activity stimulating the mind?
Fear of being hit by a car?
Most recently, I believe it was the weekend vacation that reset all of my sensors and centered me.
After spending the weekend surrounded by the spirit of the mountains and the outdoors I no longer feel like I'm hanging on for dear life:
I feel as though I am on top of the world and that I can conquer anything:
I have a deep appreciation for the little things in life. They inspire me. Yesterday while riding home from the store I passed a mother pushing a baby across the parking lot in a grocery cart. Mother was busy with life, checking off her overwhelming internal "to do" list and oblivious to me. The rosy cheeked infant, on the other hand, had his eyes locked in on me. When we made eye contact his puffy cheeks rose into a big smile, almost as if to say, "Hi." or "How are you doing?" or "I genuinely hope that you've had a good day today." If able, I wonder what he would have said......
