No Words

Rainbow this morning on my street

No Words
Just gratitude
Just awe
Just a moment of quiet thanks
Just a pause
Just wonder
Just a stop
Life has been really hectic lately
I find myself wishing for the pace of life during those first few months beginning March of 2020.
And then I realize that it’s all a choice.
I have the choice.
I can say no.
I can opt out.
I can pause.
It doesn’t have to be forced on me.
I have that muscle, even though it’s been unused lately.
I can control the rate, the pace and the frenzy of my life.
I can.
I will.
I’ve been thinking about this.
And the Universe validated my thoughts by sending me a rainbow.
I’m hopping off the crazy train.
I’m rediscovering JOMO (joy of missing out) instead of FOMO.
And I’m finding signs everywhere.
Yes, Universe,
I’m listening with quiet ears.
