A short break...



I listened to my heart beat
and felt my lungs rise then fall with each breath

I watched two raindrops race across the window
and a bird fly against the wind

I emptied my mind of yesterday
and let the beauty of the moment grace my life

Satisfied, I returned to work, knowing the splendor of the moment

Appreciate the reminder of the peace in nature's rain. Every day is a good day, even if we tend to complain. At least we're alive to complain.

it's the simplest things that bring us special blessings--like breathing and vision--and the ability to just let go of the frustrations and begin anew

i think my review is longer than this beautifully penned piece--thank you for blessing me with your words today--truly enjoyed
