Mother knows best

Mother Nature has a wonderful way of

tapping you lightly on the shoulder

and reminding you about the more important things in life.

I was stopped in my tracks on the way home from work today

by the most beautiful bird-song.

I looked up into the poor, bedraggled tree in the garden I was passing,

and saw, on the topmost branch, a small robin.

He had his gorgeous red breast puffed out and his head 

thrown back, singing his song

as if it was the most important thing he had ever done.

And, at that moment, it was.

He was there, present in that moment,

giving it his all.

Lesson learnt!!

Today I am grateful for Mother Nature's little nudge.

It's so easy to plod on, thinking about what you're cooking for dinner,

or where you have to be in the evening,

and missing out on the joy of the present moment.

Stop, smile, breath!

Gratefully yours.
