After completing the workday, I went outside to decompress by a nearby fire pit. Even though it was a little after 6 pm, it was still light out and a pleasant reminder that daylight saving time is just around the corner.
Before walking towards the Adirondack chairs to grab a seat, I did some light stretching to clear my head and relax my body. As I sat in the chair furthest away from my neighbor, looking at the people strolling around the observation deck, I suddenly felt like writing. It’s been over a month since I’ve posted on a weekday, so I thought this evening would be a good time to post.
Now sitting comfortably in a chair with my feet up, preparing to watch the sunset, I decided to pause, take a deep breath, turn on a smooth R&B playlist and let my mind wander.
Then, in the twinkling of an eye, I was in tune with nature and appreciating all that it has to offer. Indeed, a beautiful state of mind to live in, enjoying the vivid imagery, sounds, and blessings all around.
Friends, if there’s a silver lining about this virtual journey we’ve been on together for the past year, taking the time to be thankful for our surroundings and the simple things in life is my biggest takeaway.
Embrace the present moment, and have an enjoyable evening.
