I am delighted to see all these little kids practicing for soccer today. They play with all abandon and without any care at all for what tomorrow would bring. It gives me a lot of comfort that I am taking this time to appreciate the beauty around me. With all this organized chaos around me there is a sense of calmness I feel surrounded by these little kids. It warms my soul in this cold and windy day as I sit on this flat rock typing away and my fingers getting numb. My thirty minutes of solitude is a refuge from my busy life. My list of things to do can wait a little bit more. Just a little bit more.
More than ever I am reminded to take a pause and capture the moments. It is not just the big moments. It is about things that I take for granted because they are just there. In the morning when I wake up and get ready for work, I expect that when I shower there is hot water. How many out there consider having hot water as a luxury? A lot of people from other countries. I can go and on about but I know you get my point. I am encouraging you today to stop and feed your soul and spirit and appreciate the beauty around you. This experience is free and endless. These moments can fill up your bucket.

I am learning to let go of things I cannot control and to take each day as it comes. I know that my tomorrow is so bright. So, I encourage you to do the same no matter how hard. I am learning to just focus on today and trust me, I worry. I am a planner and very goal driven. Today may seem bleak or blurry or just plain hectic but take a deep breath and pause. You can do it. You are a strong person. You can make it. Just stop worrying and trusting that tomorrow will take care of itself. Lift up all your worries and cares so that they will not bring you down. Today is your day, make the most out of it.
Yours truly,
Vian
