My feelings of frustration had me seeing plaid.

All I wanted to do was get out of the home and begin my metal detecting adventure. Meanwhile, my sweetheart was completing a function in the online course app he was using.

He asked that I cue up Chappell Roan’s performance of “Pink Pony Club” (at the 67^th Grammy Awards) while he completed his task and got out of the online course app. (He creates online courses.)

Then, his eyes went wide.

“So, you want to skip watching Chappell Roan’s performance and get out to the wooded area—now?” he asked.

“Yeah.” (Wasn’t that obvious?)

Later, I reflected on savoring the moment.

1. Shift your schedule.

The plan was to watch a 4-minute video on YouTube. But my sweetheart correctly assessed that, in my frustration, my experience of the music and performance would be tainted.

So we turned off the TV set and left to travel to the wooded area.

2. Pause and assess if this is a moment to “savor.”

After I did some metal detecting and digging around, I was doing the routine of putting the tools away. Then, I paused. This was a moment to be present with the breeze, the swaying tree branches, and squirrels running around.

Here is a prayer you can use:

Goddess help me savor special moments in my life.
May I wrap myself in the warm moments of the past,
As I look forward to blessed future moments.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your journey.

Blessed Be,
