Preparation
When encountering a busy time in the calendar, it's easy to become wrapped up in what's next. Where do I need to go? What do I need to do? When does it have to get done? None of these questions are bad in and of themselves, but they can lead us out of the present moment. Obsessing about what's next causes us to look past what's right before us. We can also fall into the trap of thinking, "I'll be happy when . . ." When things are slower, calmer, better, etc.
As you walk around today, remind yourself to be where your feet are. Pause. Be still. Sense the ground under your feet and consider the blessings that are currently before you. Be grateful for the opportunities presented by the present moment. Focus and connect with the people around you. Be. Where your feet are.
