These are the tulips I noticed on my walk in the neighborhood on the rainy weekend. I seem to be noticing things much more vividly lately – things I normally wouldn’t pay much attention to like getting gas for my car, driving the kids to school, running into friends on the playground – you know, the normal stuff you just do… Dropping in at Trader Joe’s, eating ice cream, cold baseball games, the rain… what’s going on? I’m slowing down and paying attention to my routines and am hyper aware that they will soon change. I like this awareness thing – I like noticing and being present and in the moment – seeing and feeling the rain and playing in it vs. running inside to stay dry. And letting the kids play outside, letting kids be kids. And when the time changed last week, I let them stay outside longer than I normally would so they can shoot hoops after dinner instead of rushing through the normal nightly routine. It’s good to slow down and pay attention and to enjoy what is. Life is good.

Love this!! It’s easy to go through life in a fog. Thanks for the reminder to stay focused and aware of the amazing details around us. Now, when am I going to find out more about this big change in your future?!?! 🙂

Tulips are my favorite! I love driving by Fremont High and seeing them all out front.
I love those too! I’m going to drive by there today. Thanks for the reminder.
How cool is this?! For anyone that knows you- this is so you to be sharing and reminding the world of the amazing things that are all around us- the “simple”… Namaste sister pants. Thanks for sharing….. PS- all this talk of what you’re doin just makes me miss you more. When you said the kids were outside shooting hoops I just wanted to be watching them with you!! And of course, after dinner delight with us snorin on the couch. 🙂

Namaste. xo
