I’m the type of person who is so busy that I’m usually oblivious to the things that are right in front of me.
This morning was no exception.
I sat at the table, not content just to sit. I picked up a book and turned to where I’d left off a few days ago.
For some reason, I looked outside my window, and that’s when I spotted a squirrel.
He must have known that the dogs were locked away safely inside, thus granting him free reign of the yard.
I watched as he hopped back and forth, pausing now and then to listen or to think about his wonderful life, I suppose.
That’s when I got out my camera and snapped a few photos…
I found it a little funny as I watched him begin digging in my yard. Gambit has dug a number of holes around the yard, so to see this little creature dig his own hole made me think that digging must come with the furry body gene…
I kept my lens trained on him and managed to get off the next shot, which I especially like…
I’m so glad I put down my book and was just…well…still…even for a little while.
In those few minutes that I watched one of God’s smaller creatures enjoying his own somewhat relaxed life, I, too, found myself relaxing a bit.
I love this time of year and the promise it holds.
I love that Spring Break whispers of a summer break in the not-too-distant future…a time when I can let down my hair for a longer span of time and simply take time to just be.
If only I’d stop…for just a little while…and allow myself to enjoy the view that exists right outside my window.
