Lists. Never-ending lists of what needs to be done first..then second..then third after that. All the 'shoulds' and 'have-to's' and absolute unquestionable 'musts'.

Hurry up. Get it done. The clock is ticking. There's no time for anything other.

And then....

The cold morning sun rises.

And then...

I stop. I take one slow deep breath and then another. My heart slows...my body softens...the wheels of my spinning mind begin to turn in another direction. I must soak this in. This light...this warmth...this color and this moment.

An invitation - I thought. And - a gentle reminder. How lucky I truly am. Yes - I have so much to do. And - yes...yes...yes - I get to do all this....and so much more. How truly lucky am I?
