I had a moment of quiet this morning. After the Christmas clean up, and being roused from sleep at 5:53am by my insistent son, making coffee and getting the morning paper I sat down at the kitchen table and looked outside and it was QUIET. A fresh layer of snow, hoar frost on the trees, predawn light peeking through, my son not being his usual nonstop self and I realized that moments like this exist in between the chaos, I just don’t acknowledge them. I get propelled into activity, overwhelmed by the mundane and miss them.

Today I will attempt to consciously look for the opportunities for quiet and savor them, no matter how brief.

When are your moments?
