We had quite a bit of snow yesterday, and as I watched it come down it became clear to me that I didn't have to go out if I chose not to. That led to my pondering how nice it was to have the choice.
So then I asked myself why I wasn't fully enjoying this time which led me to the conclusion stated above. I further thought about it and told myself that every thing ends at some point, but we still take time to enjoy such things as childhood, family, romances, vacations, even life itself. This dream is so important to me that I don't want it to end. It has given me time to regroup, relax, rest, spend time with my kids and grandchildren, to just be. Now I am looking forward to spring and a summer without having to go to a job. Being at home and caring for the house and my husband is rewarding for me.
Now I am going to attempt to just enjoy every moment of it and not think of the possibility of it ending. If I do have to enter the work force again, I will try to do it with grace and thankfulness for the time I did have.
Thought for today: To live in the present moment is a miracle. The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now. Thich Nhat Hanh
