Arrive early. Take a breath.

Two days ago, I had planned to meet a group of people early morning, to carpool together to our destination.

The driver texted that she’d be 15 minutes late from picking up the others.

I headed out anyway, at the time I originally planned.

The morning was chilly and the sun’s warmth couldn’t yet be felt.

But what an absolute treat to have these precious few minutes after I arrived to:
grab my gloves,
hop out of my cozy vehicle,
take a few steps to a nearby bench…

And just breathe in the beauty of the morning ✨

Such a wonderful reminder to myself that trying to time my arrival to the exact minute and anxiously rushing my drive, simply doesn’t serve me.

And if there are a few bonus minutes to breathe when I get there…
so much the better 😃

How about you?? “Just-in-time”, “late” or “early arriver?
