December is all about being in the moment.
Finding that one moment in the day that brings you joy, that slows you down for an instant, that makes you feel the wonder. That you set aside your to do lists, stop the rushing about and just enjoy – being in the moment – Breathe…
This is my – in the moment – today. I opened the shade and WOW!
Every morning I’m blessed with the magnificence of these birds, I say hello my friends, and we greet the day together. But for some reason this morning it just hit me in a special way. I stood there staring at them, with a huge smile on my face, just watching them for a moment longer than I usually do. And it came to me that I’m making December a month of stopping, even if it’s just for a moment, and breathing in the wonder of this amazing Universe.
Join me in making December a month of being in the moment and finding a WOW every day for yourself. Set the intention for it and it will show itself to you. You may also want to keep a journal of the WOW you find every day, so at the end of the month you can look at all the wonder moments you had.
I’d love to hear from you, love to know your WOW, feel free to post in the comments every day if you wish.
Have a magnificent December everyone.
Blessings

In My Everyday Life 
I love the idea of tracking those WOW moments every day, it means you’re making a conscious effort to appreciate and remember them. And it’ll be lovely to look back on at the end of the month, too. I always feel like I just need to do a little more. “Once I get x, y and z done, then I can start living more in the moment and do the things I want to do”. But of course the to-do lists never lessen, they just continue to grow. We need to make the choice to stop and be in the moment, to set those lists aside now, because the month will have been and gone without us otherwise.
Lovely post, Masha. I hope December is a good month for you ♥

I’m so happy you love this, and tracking those WOW moments every day will really be a treasure at the end of the month. And yes, the choice is always ours, and the x, y and z will get done regardless, it’s not like you’re taking half a day for a moment of WOW. First thing in the morning decide that WOW will show itself to you, and you’ll be amazed. And then pay attention, you will definitely see it, it may be in an email you read, a flower you look at, a pet, it can show itself in anything and you’ll know it because you’ll have a feeling that will connect you. Hope you find a WOW every day, have a blessed month. ❤

How blessed you are to have such a beautiful view!! I love the idea of having wow moments and writing them down. When you’re having a bad day you can look back on the moments for a little pick me up. Love this!!

Thank you Masha. This post is a great reminder to stop and just breathe during the run up to the holidays. The ” to do” list can get a bit overwhelming…
