(blowing the dust off)

Okay, I'm back trying again to find the simple treasure and joy in the everyday life. It's hard. It's hard to find the simple pleasure in life when I feel like most of the time I'm just riding on the train, half asleep, waiting to get to my destination. I read so many inspiring blogs and long for my life to be like theirs. So here I am. My simple joy this morning, the stillness and quiet of my house before everyone is awake. Most mornings I get up, pour my glass of Diet Pepsi and turn the tv on, not today. I sat in the light of daybreak, taking in the silence and being still. It's not much, I know, and it was so easy to do, but it was truly a pleasure. Now the lights are on, the boys are stirring, and there's much work to be done.
