The Mural

I was doing the training, writing content and trying to understand WordPress and I started to feel discombobulated. I went for a walk. It wasn't until I looked up at the mural you see in the picture I posted that I realised I'd been walking fast and not enjoying the walk at all. So, I stopped and admired the wall art. As I continued staring, it seemed to symbolically speak to me:

The young face symbolised my rookie-ness (did I just make a word up?) here on WA.

The hare and the greyhound, me working towards creating a successful online business.

Widgets, plug-ins and Googlebots were the big-eyed smiling creatures.

And the lovers, well, I really like all this stuff I'm learning and the WA community.

The point is, I stopped and was really in the moment. And it helped me to feel relaxed and calm. I was clear-headed. Phew.

I thought to myself....smell the coffee, smell the roses, whatever it takes I will remember to appreciate the moment and be fully aware of what is really happening.

Today, remember to take a break when you need to and be present, look around. Tell me, what do YOU see?
