Beauty in the Heat of the Honda
Saturday the family and I were running some errands and I was beginning to get tired and very hot. We are having difficulty with our Honda's A/C unit. It only works when we are moving. I was beginning to feel physically taxed and we still needed to go pick up some toothpaste & baby wipes. I was feeling irritable and having a hard time not expressing this to the rest of the family. I was thirsty and I wanted some sort of fancy orange tasting soda. Erica suggested getting this at the store. We arrived, parked, got our cart, I picked my 9 month old daughter up to put her into the cart when she laid her beautiful head on my shoulder and quickly fell asleep. My whole perception shifted and I became aware of the present moment, where everything was brimming with beauty, and sentiment. I loved my life again. I was still hot, and the store didn't have the orange flavored beverage that seemed so important just moments before, but life was great again. Saturday I was again reminded to strive to wake up. Be where you are, and don't overlook the precious moments. Sometimes I feel like my greatest teacher is Cosette, our 9 month old.
