I got up at 4:30 this morning - couldn’t sleep any longer, so I did some laundry and loaded the dishwasher.

So, by the time the boys were eating breakfast, I had a chance to sit on the front porch and watch the sun rise….I’m not really a “morning person”, but I do love the sky so…

Today is such a quiet day. Peaceful, somehow. I don’t know why, but it just feels calm…

I’m so tempted to think it’s just the calm before the storm - and maybe it is - but I think, instead, I’ll just enjoy it while it lasts. Why borrow trouble?

I think over the last couple of years, I’ve grown accustomed to turmoil and crisis…so I tend to view peace and quiet with a certain amount of suspicion - waiting for the other shoe to drop…

But, I’m going to fight against that today - I’m gonna just absorb the peace and enjoy the quiet…

the chaos will come again soon enough.

Peace.
