365 Things to Smile About Day 256. Taking a Moment.

As mentioned previously, I have been down with a nasty cold this week.  Today I had to pull myself up and go to a meeting with my academic supervisor.  As I walked out of my apartment into the sunshine, I stopped and took a second to just enjoy the warm sun and fresh air.  I had been outside a couple times this week but each time I was so focused on doing what I had to and getting back to bed I didn't appreciate the warmer weather!  But today, I happily stopped and let the breeze blow on my face.  I can't say I took a deep breath or even smelt anything, not that much better yet, but I did appreciate the moment.

That is something I am starting to do more and more over the past few years.  And with so much happening and changing in my life right now, I am having to remind myself to stop and take those moments.  Even if it is just standing for a few seconds outside my apartment, closing my eyes, and feeling the breeze on my face:).  Try it...it really can help everything start to feel better:).
