I grab my earbuds and the dog and head out for a run eager for the fresh post-rain air and a good audiobook.
I hear birds chirping and singing.
I change my mind about the audiobook. I don’t need any self improvement books, or steps of grieving books, or inspirational quotes, or girl power stories today.
Just the birds.
It has been raining all day. The sun finally shone in the evening, just in time for me to witness the birds and the sunset.
Running is the only time I breathe deeply. So after a while, I stop for a minute to breathe in the fresh, somewhat cow tinged air. I take in the pinks and oranges of the sunset.
I remember to Thank God. I thank him for understanding me and for forgiving me and for guiding me. I am unsure of His direction, but I am grateful for this day.
I am present.
I am HERE NOW.
I am listening.
The birds and the sunset are just in time to witness ME.
