Fifteen Minute Sky

The midday sun is warm and the breeze is comfortably pleasant. I sit here on a secluded bench, hidden behind some artfully manicured rhododendron bushes. I hear the faint sound of car motors and faraway conversation while I actively listen to the calming song of birds. I am taking each moment as it is given, not too quickly or too slowly either; just as it should be.

I am enjoying a brief respite from a long and busy workday. I take it all in stride, living in this moment of sun and birdsong.

I close my eyes and smile; a smile of deep contentment and profound appreciation. Spring is here and I am glad just to be alive.

The blue sky smiles back at me before I glance at my clock and sigh.. fifteen minutes pass fast… but the smile never leaves my face and I carry this elation back with me inside.

Life is beautiful!

Wishing you glorious weekend my friends,

Strawberryindigo.
