The best things in life cannot be owned, touched, heard or even seen. The best things in life can only be felt. -Helen Keller<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chances are you miss the best things in life every day. There are days that I do also. For example our morning commute. We have a routine and a schedule to meet. We need to be somewhere.<\/p>\n

Alarm goes off – no time to wake up, it’s time to get up. You don’t have time to meditate, journal or exercise. Who are those people and what time do they get up?<\/p>\n

The dog needs to pee and so do I. Time to play with the dog, what?? This is not Sunday.<\/p>\n

Shower and dress you will grab coffee on the way. Have a sit down breakfast with the family, is that for real??<\/p>\n

Hugs, kisses and I Love You as the children go to before school care. Right?!<\/p>\n

This morning I was early for an appointment. I like to be early. It gives me an opportunity to see what I might be missing.<\/p>\n

I was able to grab a coffee and sit next to a fountain. For two minutes I stopped and took video of the fountain.<\/p>\n

After I watched dozens of people walk by and not even look at the fountain that graces their daily commute and I thought, how much are we missing….<\/p>\n

It’s not where we are going but how we get there and as Helen Keller’s quote reveals, it’s how we felt and feel during it all.<\/p>\n

Take 20 seconds to feel.<\/p>\n

Now try 2 minutes.<\/p>\n
