Smile

A co-worker snapped this photo of me in 2017 at the first and last time of seeing an eclipse.

I was struggling to meet many deadlines while fighting a migraine. Rebekah and I were leaving for a week in Raleigh the following day, so I was running out of time to get everything done.

But my co-worker encouraged me to step away for a few minutes and try her glasses, which I did, reluctantly. 

And then she snapped this photo of my reaction. 

So many times, we get bogged down with our obligations and can't see past our immediate struggles.

Just for today, look beyond them for a few moments.

You just may find reason to smile.

And you just may return to your duties with a clearer mind and a lighter heart.

Happy Thursday!
