This Moment

As this month is winding to a close I am absolutely and completely overwhelmed with gratitude.

The last four weeks have been a blur. With barely enough time to sleep or eat, it has been increasingly difficult to stop and take in all that is going on around me.

Last night I worked straight through the darkness forgoing sleep to finish a huge bouquet order and when Chris awoke at 4, we loaded the van together under a barely brightened sky.As he headed into the city and I headed to bed a huge wave of gratitude washed over me.

Yes, this is bloody hard work. Harder than I ever imagined it would be, but what an amazing life we've created!

In the blur of filling orders, planting, cutting, and dashing about I've struggled a bit with finding my center and remembering why we are REALLY doing this.This morning I had a wonderful window of clarity.

So in an effort to help myself stay connected to the heart of this adventure I am going to carve out a little more time to be still and try to drink in all of this bounty, because soon this season will be over. I don't want to have been so focused on the doing end of things that the being in this amazing moment was lost.

Next week rather than words, I am going to focus on silence and being as present as possible in the middle of this wild and crazy adventure..

I am always so inspired by the lovely Soule Mama who has a weekly post called This Moment where she posts a single photo without words - capturing a moment from her week. She describes it as" a simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember."

I believe it is just what I need to help me get re grounded. 

But rather than just one day, I think I will continue it  through the entire week.

This crazy, beautiful, insane time is just too precious to miss.
