Thankful Thursday: The Gift of Time

It’s Thankful Thursday and today’s gratitude goes to the gift of time to do whatever I want, whenever I want. One thing I learned during my extended summer break was that I could actually negotiate time. With no agenda whatsoever, I leaned into doing what made me happy in the moment and sometimes that meant doing absolutely nothing. Unjudged, guilt-free, uncomplicated time.

Time to just be. To sit in the sacred outdoor space that welcomed me with warm sun, a cool breeze, ever-changing clouds, and endless ripples of water in the Caribbean Sea. It took a few days to find the space to just be and when I noticed that I was breathing more deeply, seeing more clearly, and choosing not to land any decisions, I knew that I had arrived.
