Sunday along the Shoreline

 

:: Sunday Along the Shoreline ::

Did you ever one of those moments where you stop thinking about everything and just breathe? That was today at the shore. I found myself lost in the moment. There were no worries, tasks, or thoughts that demanded my attention. I was sitting there with the sun shining on my face and breathing the fresh sea air as the girls played. A Buddhist I met a few months back said that these moments where a type of meditation when as she put it, " the mind monkeys are gone". I would love to bottle up these moments and pull them out when I am particularly frazzled or worried about things. Ever since we had children, my husband and I have learned to slow down and just exist in the moment. Those moments are what enriches our lives and creates a meaningful life.
