Gratitude Journal – Day 3 – July 3, 2014

#KeepLookingUp 

This has become my mantra for life. Over the past days I’ve told this story so many times, but have never written it down.  As Robert & I would travel on our little spontaneous trips and many other days on the way to various spots in town, I am checking my email, taking a photo and posting it, checking FB, etc. Naturally, with Robert driving, he has to keep his eye (literally one – but that’s another story) on the road.

Robert gently placed his hand on mine and said very tenderly, “Stop and look up, see what I am seeing.” I am grateful for Robert’s reminder to be fully present, and to avoid so many of the distractions that prevent us from seeing what is really important.

As I sat feet in the salt-water pool at my son Mike’s house, with our grandchildren Nathan and Elijah, I took a photo of the sky which was setting to a soft purple and pink. I kept trying to post onto FB, however the app logged me out repeatedly. God’s little way of telling me that there was another story to be told. When Mike arrived back home, he shared his story of the same sunset to all of us here on FB and I understood why I couldn’t post my photo.


#KeepLookingUp you’ll be amazed at what you see.
