I was sitting in the Costco parking lot, doom-scrolling, when I heard a loud and clear whisper. ‘Hey’. I looked around but no one was near the car and it was definitely a voice.

I didn't know what it was about, but I'm not a believer in coincidences. I decided to take this moment as an opportunity to pause and be in the moment.

I put my phone down. I looked around. I took in the scene. I watched the sunset and smelled the fresh air (first smoke free day in a week!)

These are the little things I noticed …

I saw a couple laughing and dancing down the middle of the road.

I saw three men whirl around in unison as a car vrooooomed passed.

I saw two friends bro-hug each other.

I saw a tween pat his mom kindly and gently on the back as he passed her.

Humanity is beautiful when we choose to see it that way. When we put down our phones for a minute and just… observe

Have a great day.
