Tonight I was working in my office when I turned to look out of my window to see the moon shining brightly. I opened the patio door to get a better look and there was a stillness in the air that was so wonderful. I sat looking at the moon and the clouds that surrounded it. It was really a special moment.
Several years ago I started making a special effort to create and document special moments in my life. I appreciate them in the moment and then I capture them in my journal or maybe a photo. I think I learned the practice from watching my dad take photos of everyday things. I am so grateful for the practice. It teaches me to notice and anticipate beauty. I also get to relive those moments through my journals and images.
