Earlier today, I was at the Library and I was on a mission. I had it all mapped out in my mind what I was going to do and how long it was going to take me to do it. As I entered the building, the church bell across the street started chiming the hour. It was a deep, rich sound that made me pause to listen. Even though the doors were shut, I could hear the bells and it caused me to take a moment to reflect on what I was doing. Here I was, in a hurry to get done what needed to be done and I wasn't paying any attention to the beauty around me. Such as the bright, sunny day or the carefully planted rose bushes in front of the Library. I enjoy hearing the sound of the church bells because no matter where I am, or what I'm doing, the bells help remind me to take a moment out of my busy schedule and enjoy the beauty around me.
What are some things that help remind you to take a break from your busy schedule and enjoy life?
My dogs do it to me all the time! I look down at their sad eyes that are probably thinking, "Mommy, what is so fascinating about that silly computer? Why don't you throw the ball instead!"
