Swing Set at Sunset

A quick note tonight:

Today on my run, I allowed myself to feel a multitude of emotions. I allowed my settings to soak into my skin. How often do we run through our days without taking time to just feel? Take a few moments each day to let the sun kiss your skin and breathe in the fresh, crisp spring air. Sometimes, when we take a few moments to let our mind wander, we find a beautiful thing. We find where our mind ends up.

I found a playground during my run. Happy as a clam, I hopped on the swings and gazed at the majestic cathedral as I pumped my legs. Laughing, I relived one of my favorite things to do as a kid. I jumped off the swing and saw how far I could jump and still land on my feet. Funny how this relates to life. We have that moment of uncertainty as we fly through the air, mid-jump. Will I fall? Then somehow, we land on our feet.

We are never too old to be a kid again. Let yourself enjoy that part of life too. Who knows, you might just learn something while you're at it.
