Three Things

Sometimes I find myself craving silence - just for a moment.

No conversations. No music. Nothing.

Just silence.

Please.

I need to hear nothing but the sound of my own heart beat. Nothing but the sound of my own breath. This is when I can listen to me. I can ponder, plan and refocus. I can live in the present and take in the moment. I can find contentment and joy amongst the divine chaos that is too often my reality.

I've been invited by a photography group I'm involved with to find joy during the month of May. It's a wonderful opportunity for me to consciously choose three areas of my life to embrace and live more authentically - to find a little pocket of silence within each experience so I can listen to my heart and really feel the joy.

[Playing] Making memories with the little people in my life.
[Creating] For no other reason other than the simple pleasure of it!

[walking] Taking in the beauty around me. Picking up a piece of nature along the way to share.

These are my three things.

"Let the beauty we love, be what we do." ~ Rumi
