I was in the throws of packing today, serious minded and trying to be focused on the multiple tasks at hand. My husband even commented that I looked angry. I guess I was taking the job too seriously. Something about being surrounded by cardboard boxes and the sound of tape constantly ripping just doesn’t soothe my soul. It also makes for quite the tedious day when my job is really just to make sure everything is getting packed.
My dulled mind was suddenly awakened when my young son yelled, “Deer!” My head whipped up to catch a glimpse of the beautiful forest creature in our backyard. We both exclaimed together, “And two baby deer!” The graceful doe gently led her two speckled fawns across our backyard, gingerly picking their way through the lush green, weedy lawn. We gleefully followed them around to the front of our house to watch them continue on down the bend behind a neighbor’s yard. Sigh. What a breath of fresh air. Yanked out of the packing doldrums to partake in the joy of nature, a mama doe and her little ones.
“Your are not a machine.
You’re a soul who needs music, connection, sunsets, laughter, and small pockets of joy.
Prioritize them, like your life depends on it,
because it does.”
