Wow


Life is not measured by
the number of breaths we take
but by the moments that take our breath away.

Wow
What in life amazes you? What takes your breath away? What makes you stop in your tracks in total awe? Maybe it's the beauty of nature that sneaks up on you as you are walking through the parking lot. Maybe it's watching your baby belly laugh for the first time. Maybe it's a total stranger looking you right in the eye with a smile that goes straight to your soul. Maybe it's the double stuffed oreo snack pack that you have been waiting all day to eat. Or maybe, just maybe, it's when you do something that utterly amazes yourself like reaching a goal you never thought you could.

There are so many wow moment to behold. Are you opening your eyes wide enough to see them? Or are you missing them because you are too focused on looking towards the ground? Pay attention today. Don't miss all of the wow moments that are happening all around you. Stop. Look up. Take a moment. Realize that you have already had one major wow moment so far today ~ you woke up! Wow moments are just that, the things in life that make you realize that the world if far bigger and greater than you can ever imagine. So go on and have a day full of wow moments!
