Don't miss the moment

Several years ago, I took this photo while walking through Kathryn Albertson Park in Boise, Idaho. These Wood Ducks caught my attention with their bold colors and calm presence as they moved across the water.

This week’s reminder comes from a quote by my good friend Doug:
“The significance of a moment, an event, or an encounter should never be lost to the busyness of life.”

Bad news isn’t hard to find—it seems to be everywhere we look. But peacefulness is different. Sometimes we have to step away from the noise and seek it out. For me, that day in the park was one of those moments.

The Wood Ducks reminded me that it’s worth slowing down. They weren’t in a hurry, just moving steadily forward, fully present where they were. A good lesson for all of us.

This week, I encourage you to make time for peace and notice the moments that might otherwise be overlooked. They often hold more meaning than we realize.
