I took time

this past weekend to sit,

simply sit...

to look at the things I love in the house,

and take comfort in symbols from the past

as well as reminders of new life.

I watched the house exhale,

then breathe in fresh air,

while I did the same.

It was the gift of time in preparation for my Moms Memorial Service...

and it helped tremendously.

And, had I not taken the day off, I would have missed this;so glad I didn't!
