I was running errands last week. And I do mean running.
I was mindlessly dashing from one place to another, as one tends to do in December. Bank, post office, grocery store, drug store. Then, I had to double back and go to the grocery store again, because I forgot to get pumpkin for the dog. (Yes, my dog requires a large amount of pumpkin in her diet, but trust me you don’t want anymore details about that.)
So, I was going back for the pumpkin, cursing the inefficiency of the task as I pulled into the parking lot. Then, a live, acoustic version of a song from my favorite band came on the radio. It made me stop.
I took a breath and instead of racing into the store, I sat in the car and I listened to Lost in my Mind by The Head and The Heart:
I just sat in my car for a whole four minutes. I closed my eyes and sang along at the top of my lungs outside the Whole Foods.
And it was the most important four minutes of my day.

Thanks for sharing, beautiful music, I’m going to have to get their album! Gosh, I know those days on auto-pilot! It’s good to just stop, breathe and be aware.

You’re welcome! The whole album is amazing – highly recommended. Thanks for stopping by, it’s always reassuring to know I am not the only one who has auto-pilot mode. : ) Peace!
