Check out this funky, cool Lifesaver Cactus.
Its flower blooms with a center that looks just like a little Lifesaver candy.
It made me think… there really is good in everything.
Sometimes we just have to get past the prickers to see the beauty and uniqueness.
When we slow down and truly get present — with a plant, a dog, a bee, a friend, even the leaves moving in the trees — we begin to notice what we’ve missed.
The tiny movements.
The imperfections.
The brown spots.
The struggles.
And the beauty woven through it all.
And something shifts.
We grow understanding.
Compassion.
Love.
For things we may have rushed past.
Judged.
Or labeled as “bad” or ugly.
When was the last time you stepped out of your crazy-busy world and became fully present?
Maybe that’s something to try today — just for a few moments.
And maybe… a few more tomorrow.
