Going Outside

Since the holidays, I have found myself inside more often than I would like. A rather odd winter has helped attribute itself to this fact. Days that are too cold, days that are dreary and damp, days that are warm and humid (the curse of living in the south). My days have been filled with tasks that were by nature indoors, in the car, or on the computer.

Then today I looked up from my screen and saw it was a beautiful day. I ventured out to find that there wasn't even humidity! And so I went outside, doing some chores (why can I never just sit and enjoy?), walked the dog, and marveled at what a beautiful day I almost missed. I wonder how many other things I miss because I fail to just look up.

So I encourage anyone who is reading this - lift up your head and look up from the screen - look outside - step outside - and if its nice, go for a walk.

Psalm 3:3

But you, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.
