Beauty

A moment ago I stood outside, just looking and soaking in the world. The puppy has eaten and I had just finished feeding the pig, still in my flowy polka dot dress of yesterday. It was warm with a cool breeze, dogs barking in the background, traffic flowing on the road by the drive. But as I stood there it was as if the world seemed still. Maybe just my world was pausing for a moment. Either way, it was breathtakingly beautiful. The way the wind played with my hair, the memory of my sisters laughter as "tree worms" fell from the branches, the children's toys waiting to be picked up in the too-high grass, the peace I felt at heart...yes, my friends, today will be a good day.
