Gathered Thoughts

I have found this so true in my daily life. I often rush through moments or appointments just trying to get a moment of rest but as I have started to pause more and take in those around me , I have seen such a great opportunity to share kind words and a smile.
.
I found myself stepping into 2023 (on an adventure) but also contemplating my word of the year for my @cultivatewhatmatters planner. I chose Mary .
.
I am naturally geared at being a Martha , task oriented ,get the job done then we can relax . Mary’s have always intrigued me. How do you sit and chat when there’s work to do? And yet, I have found myself wanting and desiring to do this exact thing. This is the area where God is leading me and I am so wanting to grow in.
.
I want to let the dishes stay in the sink, stay up later to have a conversation with my little one or a friend ,engage in conversation with those around me .. on the plane, at the Dr office , at a museum and even the gym.
.
This quote reminds me of all of that and to treasure every moment with others that come my way ❤️
