My husband and I moved to Denver over a year ago, and we absolutely adore it here. Honestly, what is not to love: mountains, year round outdoor activities, generally sunny weather, and friendly people. Well, the time had come where we needed to start looking for a new rental home, as our landlord is going to be putting this place on the market. September or October sounded reasonable to move again, it was only June.... However, an opportunity has arisen and we will be moving in three weeks?!?! Damnit.
It never fails, my life moves at a rapid, and often unforgiving, pace. So, in two days my husband and I will begin our juice feast and sign a new lease, in just under three weeks I will run Shape's Diva Dash, and in three weeks we will move (and I will somehow be miraculously packed). Did I mention that I am starting a new job in August, my husband has to take a trip south, and we will have to put our home in Georgia back on the rental market in September?!? Oh, and lets not forget an August 19th Warrior Dash run...
With that all in mind, and as I need to get to packing and preparing for juicing, remember that life is what you make of it. I am going to take this crazy trip as the reminder that life often moves at a pace we struggle to comprehend, if you don't stop to appreciate all that it has given you, you lose site of the big picture. Today, as you park your car a little further from the entrance to the store, stop and enjoy the feel of the sun on your skin, the smell of fresh cut grass, and the company of those around you. Put down your Cell Phones, Laptops, IPads, IPods, MP3 players, Radios, Walkie Talkies, Pagers, Fax Machines, XBox Controllers, Boomboxes, and any other electronic device that you may have and enjoy all of the gifts that you have around you. Vow to, at least once a week for one complete hour (while you are sleeping does not count), put down all of those distractions and enjoy everything you have in your life - I promise, it will be worth it.
