A life lesson that I have had to learn, re-learn and learn again. Slowing down is not part of my nature, it's a discipline I have had to develop. But when you do, amazing things happen. Being peaceful and calm allows you to soak up the things around you - the beauty in the everyday, a reciprocal smile from a stranger, the breeze in your hair, the sun on your skin. Breathing in the moment, in both senses, is a new-found habit which takes me to a good place. Happy. Grateful.
Because it's the little things that make each day count.
