Down Time

In the midst of an often hectic life, it's nice to be forced to sit still for a few minutes and have a little time to think and reflect. I'm thankful for five minutes in a waiting room, thirty seconds and a traffic light, twenty minutes rocking the baby to sleep, and another twenty minutes of feeding her a bottle. Sometimes I think of all I have to do; sometimes I think of things I'm looking forward too. Often, I clear my mind and think of nothing, enjoying the snow covered trees, or soft baby skin, or the fact that my life is pretty great.
