I am often overwhelmed by the natural awe that surrounds me. Like this sky. It's sort of like a blended beauty of simplicity and complexity. Living in the Midwest has its downfalls -- no beach, which my brother in FL always rubs in. Likewise, my sisters living in UT would chime in with "and no mountains." But, one of the positives is the amazing sunrise and sunset.
If you're not paying attention you could easily miss it. While taking the dogs out this morning I noticed what looked like a
ring of fire in the sky. It was still there on my way to work an hour later. The longer I stared at it the funnier it was to me. Why? It was like someone grabbed a cloud, wound it up in a softball pitch and threw it at the sun. The result? A really cool sky blended from orange to dark blue. The rays were just beaming all over the place and I couldn't help but smile.
It's moments like that when I realize
just how small I am in the grand scheme of things. It's a
humbling feeling to say the least. It makes me
happy to be exactly where I am right now and it also reminds me that no matter how busy life gets, sometimes you just need to
stop,
look up,
breathe it all in,
and feel your feet on the ground.
