My 2011 Life

Wherever I go and whatever I do, I notice life. Not like I used to. Not as I'm rushing out to make my appointments on time. Not as I rush to eat a piece of toast, as if food is a burden in that moment. Not as I'm on the phone with a client daring my kids to talk in the background.

I notice life.  The birds singing outside of my bathroom window as I'm getting dressed.  The trees blowing and dancing in the wind as I'm driving down the highway.  The cardinal that has just landed outside the window of a house I'm showing to a client.  The beauty in my children’s voices as they play, laugh, and scream.

The pure, innocent, joy of my life.  In it nothing is ugly, judged, or a burden.

Lately, I've noticed the little things in this life that I was too busy to notice before.  I wonder why now?  What's changed within me that life now has new meaning and purpose?  What matters most to me is LIVING and NEVER again taking life for granted.  Oh, how far I've come.

And to think that in 2012 my Creator will remove another piece of the veil!
