Every where I go try to remember to simply sit and watch what is going on around me. I sit to slow myself and my thoughts down and to notice what is available to me, which I might miss if I was looking at my phone or getting lost in my thoughts – past and future.

When I sit, look, and listen, I am always rewarded with something beautiful, interesting, or relaxing. These moments of awareness always bring me peace or happiness. If I let the world in, it never fails me.

Take time to sit and absorb your surroundings this weekend.
