I rushed through a lot of life

I still do. But I do very much enjoy paying attention, on purpose, to beautiful moments.

I watched these clouds on my run. They were gray. But I noticed their shape. And I wondered if the sunset would light them up.

Later as I drove to pick up my daughter, I felt grateful for the stoplights that let me stare. They weren’t pink for long. But I’m grateful for the opportunity to look up and to notice.
