The more I thought about my last post and what it started to mean for me I realized I wasn't focusing only on my chocolate milk. Because while chocolate milk is super yummy in my opinion, I began to focus on other things.
Sometimes after I begin to think about things I realize that the thought I "identified as trivial" was in truth very eye opening. Hence the follow up post to drinking chocolate milk.
The more I thought about this today I realized that there are so many things I "gulp", things I rush though. When I look at Mr. Potts and his ability to savor, THAT is what I want to incorporate in my life.
After the realization that I "gulp" but would rather savor, I'll be making an effort to savor things.
My deck is loaded with gorgeous pots of impatiens we planted. What a wonderful way to spend a spring afternoon. Not rushing off to do the next best thing but soaking in their beauty.
Savor my impatiens
Savor my time outside that I can read
Savor the long walks that Hayden and I take that give us together time
Savor the joy that washes over me when my mom calls to tell me that my niece or nephew want to talk to me
Savor the joy deep in my heart when Mr. Potts looks at me and tells me he gets me. He "Gets" what gets me upset and will help me manage it.
I want to savor the sunsets
I want to savor the time with my mom, Mr. Potts' Mom & Stepdad, His Dad & Stepmom, His Meme (MY Meme now), my Dad & Stepmom.
I want to look back 5 years from now and feel as if I've savored all that I had the opportunity to. I don't want to miss a single moment.
Will you join with me in slowing down & savoring things? Memories, Dinners, a Stroll in the Spring Summer, Playing with a precious puppy, Savoring your Chocolate milk. Will you join me?
Tell me what you want to look back on and be proud that you've savored.
