Bison Built @bisonbuilt - Tumblr Blog

This week, when you feel the need to push yourself away from the table and take a break from Thanksgiving events, we encourage you to #findyourpark. Chances are, there’s a park or wildlife refuge a short drive away. Just a few miles from Washington, D.C., Great Falls Park in Virginia provides stunning views of the Potomac River as it falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and rushes through a narrow gorge. Anything to escape your family sitting around talking about politics, right? Photo by Yan Li (www.sharetheexperience.org)

Weekend Musings

It’s Friday. TGIF. Here’s to the weekend.

I could go on, but I’ll spare you.

I found this quote earlier this week, and have been mulling it over in my head all week:

But I do.

I live for those fleeting moments of blissful happiness, and forget all the in betweens. But isn't that where life truly happens? In the moments on a Tuesday afternoon, when there is nothing on television and you’ve got laundry piled so high you can’t see the end, the phone is buzzing, you’re tired of having to cook dinner and wonder why take out can’t be next door, and you just want Friday afternoon to get here.

But what happens when it leaves?

After a few decisive moments in my life, I decided to stop pouting over the small days and instead using them to make the big ones better. Instead of dreading the laundry pile that you swear is taller than you are, I am instead thankful for the clothes I don’t really deserve. Those pieces of dinner sitting frozen in the freezer? All I need is 30 minutes on an indoor stove to have it ready.

It’s appreciating the in-between moments that allows me to fully appreciate the bigger ones.

I don’t dread Mondays. I don’t complain when sunny summer disappears into the winter. I have decided to take the time to live.

In the words of Peter Pan...
