Hello everyone! Sorry I missed you yesterday. I had so much work to catch up on but I'm finally able to be here on the web today. This past Thursday, I only had one class and my class was instructed to spend time outdoor and take a photo with our phones of something in nature that we found aesthetically beautiful. The weather was amazing and it was so refreshing to get to spend time appreciating nature and seeing beauty in the smallest details. Tree bark, new leaves budding, flowers blooming, lush green grass, smooth pebbles by the river... I was then reminded of something so important: Today is the only day that matters.
In Chicago, the weather is extremely unreliable. (especially when it's supposed to be springtime). It can be sunny, warm, and pleasant and then the very next day it is snowing, overcast, and windy. This is something I really dislike about Chicago. I consider anything below 60 degrees to be too cold and I find myself constantly complaining about how I'm not happy with the weather. I'm guilty to say I only take time to be grateful when things go my way and this is dangerous. Thursday, I was sitting in the grass and just reveling in how glorious the weather was and I told myself. So instead of worrying about tomorrow's forecast, just stop and appreciate this exact moment in time. The sun is shining on me, birds are singing, flowers are in bloom. Tomorrow can be crazy but tomorrow is also very far away. There will never be this exact moment ever again so love it while it lasts. Let tomorrow take care of itself and leave yesterday alone. This exact second is what needs to be noticed.
Today is the day to be thankful. Today is the day to make someone else happy. Today is the day to remind yourself that you are strong, talented, and fierce. Today is the day to stop worrying about all your problems and inconveniences. Today is the day to relax and enjoy.
XOXO
Chloe
