A few years ago, I wanted to take Daisy on a brisk four mile hike.
But Daisy had other plans.
She stopped to smell every blade of grass.
She barked at every car.
She sat and allowed her ears to flap in the wind.
It was really annoying. At first.
And I realized … I don't need to do a four mile rigorous trek. I can nurture
this moment in time and spend the same hour taking inventory of the
beauty that surrounds us.
Daisy slowed me down. And in doing so, she deepened my soul.
With love and shalom,
