Today, I sit. Why? you ask...- Weatherman predicted thunderstorms and wind, but it is currently sunny and 68. So today, I sit.
- Good books are plentiful and I have a current library card. Oh yeah, I sit.
- The leaves on the big tree in the front yard emerged today and I can hear the birds gathering home from their winter vacation. Of course, I sit.
- Finding stillness is essential as the seasons change...for good health and peace of mind. Quietly, I sit.
- I nearly sliced the tip of my finger off yesterday requiring 4 stitches, so I am feeling stupid and in pain. Therefore, I sit.
- I am skilled at ignoring the call of dishes, laundry and dust. Happily, I sit.
- All too soon I will be driven from the front porch by oppressive heat. Today, I bask.
- Time stands still in the clouds and trees and the song of Mother Nature. For a moment we are one. If I just sit.
- The "to do" list is put away. Tomorrow will come. Today is now, so I sit.

I'm glad that you sit. Everyone needs to take a break!! Some people feel really guilty for sitting! So, I'm glad you sit!
ReplyDeleteI think we got all your bad weather! It has been cold and blustery all day. But it is still appreciated since we all know what comes next in AZ.:-)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you got to sit and enjoy your day. I love sitting on my front porch and soaking it all in.
Sorry to hear about your finger though!! I hope it is all better soon.
Ahhhh, beautiful and so peaceful. I am picturing you sitting under that tree, book in hand soaking it all in.
ReplyDelete{sorry about the finger}
Thanks for the love!!
I almost feel guilty about being so busy today, but it was rainy and windy here, so my front yard would have been a bit miserable! Glad you had such a wonderful day. You deserve it. Here's to more perfect Spring days!
ReplyDeleteMy blog reader brings me a beautifully written post, evocative of lazy summer days filled with the pages of an engrossing novel. Pleasurably renewed, I sit.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post! We are supposed to have tornados tomorrow. If we don't, I am going to sit!
ReplyDeleteExcellent reasons to sit! I think taking a minute to just be is essential! I had a long, busy week so today I sit, too.
ReplyDeleteoh that was so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI found myself feeling all relaxed and everything around me seemed so peaceful as I imagined, "just sitting" outside without a care in the world.
Thank you for reminding me that it's GOOD to just sit sometimes and not think of the "to do" lists: )
Came over from MMB. Just sitting and quietly thinking or reading helps me handle the after school rush much better.
