Pause & Play

Sometimes in life you need inspiration. The littlest things can do that. And this leaf did it for me. While sitting in my car (thinking), I looked up through the sunroof and froze. The first glimpse of this leaf not only made me freeze, but it put my thoughts on hold – and I’m a huge thinker… I’m constantly in my mind. After the initial shock, I thought, “this is the last leaf alive.” This little leaf is holding on strong and is surviving to its end. Then I thought about how strong the leaf was and decided to stop worrying about what was on my mind.
I started the car, rolled down the windows, played Beyoncé, sang, and smiled my way to school along with the breeze, sun rays and my thai iced tea.
At school I saw six children running around. They were laughing, running, and screaming with joy. Those children reminded me that we all can enjoy our lives. We have to make the decision to put our worries aside and put our best intentions forward. Choose our attitude everyday. And enjoy our life.
