A Movie Moment

You know how we watch a movie and you'll be watching a scene from a short distance away, just seeing people smile and have fun, but not being able to hear them? Those are the scenes that pull at your emotions and make you feel like, "I want that! I want to just be and play and have fun like that."

Well, I lived one of those scenes yesterday. I went to the beach with my girls and our dog. One of my girls was beach combing and drawing in the sand with a stick while the other was skipping and running and playing with the dog. As I stood a little ways back and watched the scene, I experienced that exact feeling we always wish for when we see it in a movie. And then I took a moment to be grateful for it and that magnified the good feelings.

It was an incredible day and I'm glad that not only did I have the opportunity to have fun, but I had the chance to magnify it through vision and gratitude.
