Quiet

Right now I am sitting all alone, locked into my office at that place I work. It is beautiful and totally quiet, for the first time today. I am reminded again how much I love this job. I love that I am sitting here and it is quiet and cool and the sun is setting over the river behind me and there is work to be done but none of it weighs heavy on me and makes me sad or angry or feel like I can't breathe.

I am sitting here now and in just a little bit I will get up and walk out and meet my husband. We will drive home and maybe stop at that little stand and buy an ice cream cone and we will go in the backyard and walk barefoot and look at my rose bush. We will make dinner and watch a bad tv show and go to bed early and read books and kiss and sleep and dream.

Nothing is ever perfect. But this is pretty damn good.
