As one walks throughout the day, it is easy to get caught up in thought and forget the pleasure of the walk itself. Often I am in such a hurry, that I am mentally two activities ahead of where I physically find myself to be.
Last Friday, I found myself with a day away from work. I took the time to recharge & enjoy to wonderful weather. The morning started off by heading to my local Starbuck's & spending the morning reading my current book, White Apples. Next I headed to a meeting, followed by a stroll through Piedmont Park. On my way,I passed a patch of grass which was blanketed in violet colored flowers no larger than a quarter of an inch individually.
Had I not taken the time to enjoy the walk itself, as opposed to just getting to the park, I would have never noticed something so small. The pleasure from that moment only amplified the rest of the day's time at the park.
Don't let yourself be so focused on the goal, that the journey itself is lost on you.
