Time for a Reality Check

A 10 minute drive from where I live is this.........


Imagine what this view looks like with no clouds.

It's a beautiful place to be but is almost always forgotten in the hustle and bustle of life in general.

In my quest to find inner peace I have vowed to stop and smell the roses (or in this case the sea air) and feel the sand between my toes.  So often in our lives we are so pre-occupied with what we think are the must-dos that we don't give ourselves the time to appreciate all the small (or in the above case, the large) treasures around us.  Whether it be the flight of a butterfly or the crash of a wave we need to remind ourselves that these things have the ability to provide us with a much needed moment of peace.  A chance to take a deep, calming breath and give thanks for what we have.

SIGH................
