Mark woke me up early one morning and said, “Wake up, I am going to show you something amazing.” I asked him what it was, and he told me to get dressed for a hike.

30 minutes later we were out of the city and onto the trail. Mark showed me something amazing.

If that wasn’t amazing enough, we saw a mama moose and her baby, prairie dogs scampering all over the trails, and ducks basking in the sun.

As we were hiking out, we talked about the weekend mornings when we get caught up doing things around the house. Today we left the bed unmade, and coffee cups in the sink because the world was waiting for us.

If you go to your to-do list first thing in the morning, or feel compelled to get things done before getting out in the world, put this on the top of your list … See something amazing.

Everything else can wait.
