Sometimes

 Sometimes  I sleep late especially when it rains. And sometimes I sit on the porch thinking about all my blessings and how grateful I am to be where I'm at. I breathe in the fresh air and watch ripples in the pond. I hope the baby catfish are making them as they venture to the surface for something to eat.  I listen to the deer snort in the brush and marvel at the fact that the dogs are happy to stay in my lap or at my feet. Coffee tastes better on mornings like this. I watch people speed down the road and I want to tell them to slow down. Sometimes it's just better to take everything a little slower. Take it all in. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow isn't promised.
