Wandering on purpose

It's 3:00 on Monday afternoon.  Outside it is rainy and chilly, but I can't see that because I don't have a window in my office... (ho hum, poor me!).  No one else is in the office and it is quite and peaceful.  I don't know where everyone else is... that used to bother me a lot.  Why do I have to work when they don't?!  But now I'm good with it.  Good with quiet and peace and getting things done (or not!).  I'm good with it.

Today I get to sit at my desk and eat my EasyMac (gross and good all at once!)... and think... and be peaceful.  I had such a long strange weekend.  From coffee and dinner with wonderful friends on Friday night to a long, wet, cold day in the trees at the Challenge Course on Saturday to a long day of church and meetings and dinner and FaithWeavers on Sunday... I am blessed, but its also good to be quiet.

So, I will sit and enjoy my mac n cheese... I will proofread more curriculum... I will probably watch the Amazing Race on my laptop... and eventually I will wander home to hug my dogs and proofread some more.

So many things and adventures and possibilities and stresses and travels and overwhelming things and blessings all loom on the horizon... yet here I am...today, enjoying this quiet office (if the phone would stop ringing!)... and remembering that I am blessed and loved and today, there is peace... no matter what tomorrow brings.
