    Notice the in between moments of joy ✨

    The shhhh shooshing of the wind, the rustle of the leaves in the trees.

    Notice the branches swinging back into their natural place.

    The whistle of a bird and the pause while its friend considers its answer, then replies with cheekiness.

    Notice the pause before the answer. Then the flutter of the wings as they decide to move.

    The shadow plays on the wall or ground, fading in and out of focus.

    Notice how they run just like the wind.

    Pat a dog to see them respond with calm, appreciation for the small gift of attention.

    Notice the exhale after they flop onto the ground enjoying the moment.

    The quiet half-smile of your lover as you speak gently to them and safety fills their heart.

    Notice the upturned corners of their mouth, the joy of love.

    The way the petals of a sunflower wrap up together at night, bathing in moonlight.

    Notice the way they wait patiently for the sun’s warmth in the morning. Another day, let’s shine!

    These in between moments are what escape us in our busy lives. The details, the beauty. Noticing and appreciating these brings us back to the now and the joy of our life.

    These moments are a part of what makes living in this world so special. And they’re beautiful ✨
