be

There has been time to just be today.  

After the scrubbing and cleaning of my home, the chopping and simmering of homemade soup, and before the the pick-up and after school activities.  My daughter and I had a chance to drink tea, play quietly (in her case), and reflect and read (in mine.)  Just Be.

Sure, I have a lot more I could be doing.  But nothing was urgently pressing.  I even delegated a looming task to someone else.
