I had just such a moment. It goes without saying that these kinds of moments are gifts - and I know how truly spoiled rotten I am! It suddenly hit me as I looked over the lake, found beauty in the grey clouds hanging on the mountain and reverence in the hush of a snow covered world, that I was blessed - though the words to describe that kind of feeling still escapes me. That overwhelming feeling of gratitude that heals!
I live within 1/8 of a mile to a State Park where my own husband works and we have free access at any time. JD was running, training for his upcoming marathons, and I was power walking/jogging. While performing this simple routine it was reaffirmed in my mind that quiet time is important; it can rejuvenate and heal us all from the inside out. I am an advocate of exercise and fresh air for mental cleansing, but today that belief was reaffirmed again.
Whether it was mental cleansing of the exercise, or the quiet reflection of the landscape, it was a beautiful day! I will remember the moment. I took a couple cell phone pics (hence the bad pics!)JD is the small dot on the road!
A beautiful snow covered lake.
Have you had any moments like these? I would love to hear about them.
