Yesterday I found a quiet place on campus to get some reading done and with my back against a large rock I sat there with my eyes closed, face to the sun…just thinking. I thought about how some days are so hectic and demanding…and how other days are filled with little moments that make the day extra special…no matter what kind of day it is, the time goes by just the same…I sat in my little moment there and trusted that it was entirely mine…I watched the baby ducks practice their grooming skills, and I watched how the mommy duck kept them all together…they were such a joy to watch and I felt indebted to share my moment with her as her task was every bit as important as mine.
After a week of reading and writing, then re-reading and re-writing, I kind of thought Shakespeare might understand if I just soaked up a moment or two without him and now it’s Friday…and looking back on this week, I can see that this moment was a blessing, as was the text message I received from Kristin that said “I love you”, and the two nights Erik cooked dinner for me, and the way Lacey greeted me at the door every single day wagging her tail…many blessings this week…I just wish it hadn’t taken me until Friday to see them.

Shakespeare and I are going to have to have a long talk.

You had me right there with you mentally...which you do so well! I sat out on the deck last night/evening and watched this bee for the longest time. Of course, I was thinking if I flapped my wings that many times a minute my arms wouldn't be so flabby. LOL
Seriously, just took time to enjoy the peacefulness of the moment.
Glad you're back!
