Being There

So, even though we’re currently jobless we’ve kept ourselves mostly busy with different activities, time spent with friends, creating memories. As we were driving home from yet another crazy day of adventure I realized that we are so blessed to have this time right now (even though it’s very stressful to whittle away one’s savings) because it puts us in the unique position to be there in order to experience the beauty of life. Not that you can’t be there while you’re working but I think that’s the point. We’re so focused on the next step, the next task, the next 15 minutes until quittin’ time that we miss the beauty of the moment, the beauty of the present. So, maybe try today to see the beauty in the moments around you. Try to be absolutely present in them. Because in the end that’s what makes life. Not your paycheck or the size of house you live in. It’s the moments of joy and laughter, silence and sadness, spent with those you love.

Oh. And Shawn and I would like to apologize to L.E.A. and her parents for the enormous poop that Serisse left in the backyard.

We’ll clean it up tomorrow.
