The grandkids have left for school, and now it’s just the three pups and us. They are all nestled somewhere comfortably, and more than one is snoring. All is well, and I am grateful.
It stormed terribly yesterday for many hours, off and on starting midday and lasting through the night, dumping so much rain at once that neither the gutters nor the goldfish pond could contain it all. I fully expected to find goldfish flopping around on the patio this morning, but gratefully did not.
The peacefulness and quietness of right now are so obvious to me, and I’m grateful for the stillness. I think that’s because I’m not at my own home, distracted by all the things I could, should, or want to do. I am content to sip coffee and write while my pup is sleeping on my lap. I’m grateful to be so aware of the value of ‘now.’
This is the day which the LORD hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. ~Psalm 118:24
