Today I feel thankful for clouds…and for overcast skies. There is a slow feel to the day. It’s not the day to get a lot accomplished. I’m staring at the cursor, as it beckons me to write something important, maybe even profound. But, not today.

Today is for slow breaths, long pauses, and contemplation. It is for noticing little things…like the one small ripple in an otherwise perfectly flat pond. Or how many shades of gray are in the sky. Or how you can smell the rain before it starts.

My mom and sister sent me a Christmas gift by mail. It is moving sand art. Sand drops slowly in water through air bubbles creating a unique sculpture. Today is the day to watch as sand, water, air, and gravity work together. It is for me to sit with a cup of tea and enjoy the show.

Today, that is enough.
