After weeks of focusing only on life’s essentials and getting ready for our Spring Art Show, I woke up this morning with no ‘have to do’s’ chasing each other through my mind.

I brushed my teeth and spent the next 15 minutes trimming up the dried ends and dead leaves on my tumbling spider plant. Because I could!

I stripped the bed and tossed the sheets in the laundry.  Because they needed it!

I enjoyed a long leisurely coffee in my favorite morning spot. Time stood still!

I looked out the window and discovered that while I had been rushing around, the tulip bulbs I planted last fall were well on their way to putting on their own spring show.

I wrote this because there was no voice in my head telling me I didn’t have time for this.

Slow down…breathe…be present to the moment…putter on…

I needed this! Maybe you do, too!
