There is so much beauty in nature and of course beautiful smells this time of year with everything blossoming!
Tonight I made sand dollar art with sea glass and I am in awe that it is real. The person handling the class received them from
a friend that found them in Siesta Key Florida. I would love to find them in person and may some day try : )
From moments of awe, I discover a sense of peace and fortune. Everyone has their own tasks to keep them busy, and everyone has their own concerns, I do, too! However, if I can enjoy the present moments, then I consider that my good fortune.
My Ngoc, I remember learning about the 4 quadrants from the Adult Day Treatment program twice once in 2019 and again in 2022 for my mental health treatment. Priorities are determined by the level of urgency and importance. “Important, but urgent” is the best place to be. Responsibilities feel light enough for us to enjoy the present.
The silence and peace of the early morning when in awe while watching the sun starting to rise on a clear morning and bustle and sound is not yet filling the space. When then birds give joy to everyone´s heart with greeting the day and all around with their beautiful concert – what a wonderful world, and beauty of sorts it all is!
It’s been days of hot warm weather here in the south of Norway and we are not used to this much warmth. The well needed spring rain just started as I was packing my bag to take a swim and I’m surprised by how good it feels to have rain come. The flowers and trees look much more vibrant now and everything seems to be giving off a sense of awe! A well needed break from dusty hot wind.
To stop, pay attention, stay in the moment, appreciate. This moment may begin by following the birdsong outside my window, by being attentive to sunrise or sunset, or walking the beach early in the day. Unexpected gifts on any given day.
Moments of awe, have helped me
appreciate this world that we Inhabit.
Moments of awe, have also given me a
different perspective and new context
to view myself and the world and how
I fit in it.
What I discovered is that the world is so much bigger than we realize when we only focused on our needs and moving through our to-do list. When I look up and truly take in the miracle of what is happening around me – the bird in her nest outside the window, the flowers bursting into bloom along the forest path, the thunder which shook the house as the rain lashed against the windows last night, the neighbor offering rhubarb from her garden and the gift of a new day – I stop, am humbled by the riches that surround me and want to kneel in reverence and then shout and jump with joy for the deep gratitude that fills me.
The beauty of flowers and lush green is breathtaking now in New England. Seeing it takes me out of my weariness, even if just briefly. Am grateful and always, always delighted in this time of year.
My heart softens up in moments of aw. It’s most obvious when I’m with Ngoc sharing affection with her. She has long hair and a natural sweet voice. Again, that’s my prefered style. This amplifies those feelings. A softening heart gives me a firmer grip.
I was speaking with a patient about awe yesterday. I feel as if awe and gratefulness are intertwined. When I allow myself to find gratefulness it parts the way for awe even at the mundane. This is all about allowing—making space and uncovering what is already there.
Nannette, been there before. It’s easy to get stuck when we’re in misery. Sometimes, it takes for us to get out of our own mind to see the world beyond ourselves.

I am humbled when I feel a sense of awe. I am reminded how small I am in this extraordinary world.
The joy for living in this world.
Pearls of peace.
Oasis of hope.

Beautiful. Thank you.

That there is always something to be grateful for.
I feel open, lighter, and engaged!
Yram, same here. I find myself opening up to others more confidently and engaged in conversations and social settings.
In moments of awe; I realize that the world is much more than me….I am humbled and know that there is a God.
