Take Time Out

Glancing out the window one evening I happened to notice the beautiful pink streaks that were splashed across the sky. Grabbing my camera, I quickly drove down to the beach in time to experience the evening's sunset.

Sometimes there's nothing better that you can do for yourself than simply take time out. Leave those dishes after dinner and go out to see the sunset, leave the laundry for another day and take a walk in the woods, or garden or city park. Whatever your particular time out is, it is best if it involves something that is uplifting to you.  If it involves the appreciation of nature, all the better.  Just taking as little as 15 minutes for time out can give you a large a return on your investment... in the form of enjoying the here and now, and appreciating what is readily available to you.  It can be a reminder that life holds precious moments that cost nothing in terms of money, only an expenditure of time, and results in true enrichment for your spirit and sense of well being.
