Reflections

There is a small window part way up the stairs.

I like to pause there.  I sit on a step and ponder.

I do not contemplate difficulties or struggles.

I do not deliberate questions or the elusiveness of answers.

I take a little personal time to enjoy beauty.

Gazing through tree branches,

watching the birds,

and witnessing life reflected on the pond quiets my soul.

Time set aside to Praise God for His creativeness

builds memories to be treasured.

I never want to take this blessing for granted.
