It’s Only Temporary

6 month challenge, Choice, Freedom, Life, Trust, letting go
Sitting at the traffic light looking up at the changing trees, I heard it.
It’s only temporary.
The words caused me to replay my morning in my mind.
Watching the clock as my daughter was flirting with being late for school. (tick-tock, tick-tock)
The Acura MDX who pulled up along side me hoping I wouldn’t notice that he was trying to race me before the lane merged. (Really, dog?)
The unconscious pedestrian who stepped out from between parked cars only looking in one direction. Not mine. (DUH!)
It’s only temporary.
All of it.
Everything that annoys you.
Everything that delights you.
Everything that makes you want to rip out your hair.
Everything that makes you cry with gratitude.
Temporary.
For there will be something else in the next moment to replace it.
Something in the next hour that will seem far more important.
Something in the next year that will make it seem as minor as who won last night’s game. (Which game, Lisa? Precisely.)
I get that it may not feel that way in the moment.
I get that whatever “it” is may even suck.
But I promise you, you can be with it.
If you so choose.
Because “it” is only temporary.
Today I invite you to look up from your situation. And notice.
Notice the trees. Notice the clouds. Notice the paint on the walls.
Just notice something else.
If you’re like me, you’ll return to your day with fresh eyes and a new perspective.
It…
is…
only…
t-e-m-p-o-r-a-r-y.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
I'll be looking around at everything today and thinking it's only temporary.
Enjoy!
