Its moments like these that make me realize how blessed I am. Saturday morning, sleeping puppies, the sun coming through the windows as I watch reruns of the last season of SITC. Perfection.
Sure, I could be looking through depos to prepare for trial, or reviewing production for exhibits lists; I could put away the dishes or start the laundry, I could do a myriad of things that need to be done. Or, I could just be.
Its so easy to get caught up in the "must dos" of life. Between work, church, social life, I often forget to enjoy the small moments of life. Even on the weekends, its a schedule of getting up , getting to the gym, grocery store, errands, so I get home and do work around the house and catch up on work from the week. It can be exhausting. People ask me all the time how I relax, or what I do to have fun, and I stop, pause for that awkward 10-15 seconds and say read? workout?
How sad is it that my "relaxation" is a scheduled activity I squeeze in at 5am during the week? Or reading means depos versus a good ole fashioned book? When did life get so hectic? When did life stop being fun and become all work? When did I forget that Saturday mornings are for pancakes and puppies?
Take time to count your blessings this week. To take in the sunshine, a good rerun of your favorite show and to enjoy pancakes with your puppies--if they stay awake long enough.
