Just Breathe



After work today I decided I needed to get out of the house to get away from work. I've spent the past couple of days glued to my work (one bad thing about working at home....it's always there).
I drove to McKinley Park, mostly because there is a drug store on the way there where I could purchase an ice cream cone and because I just like that park.
I sat in the rose garden and for the first time in a long time I listened to myself breath. It's easy to forget that each breath is a beautiful gift from God. I left the rose garden feeling blessed...renewed.

good for you - taking a time out to meditate and reflect on important and simple things is so important. Thanks for reminding me!

p.s. I always love your pictures.

Sometimes is hard to force yourself to slow down, but oh the joy of sitting and looking at the beautiful colors of the earth. Tiffany

I also love McKinley Park. Jonah and I did a very slow jog there this afternoon. But where is this drug store with ice cream?
