Small Moments

Today was the first day back after the long weekend. It was a quick productive day. My coworker found a few mistakes that I made with training for my new position. I am sorta confident in myself that I can do this new position but its still scary. Its a lot of responsibility. 

On lunch, I went over to the library and they had a program called "Peace Path". They set up in a large room a walking path with luminaries and peaceful music playing. You can walk the path or sit quietly in the room. After walking the path, I sat in the room for 10 minutes in silence. It was such a treat, in the middle of the workday, to sit in silence and not worry about anything. I wish they had this program ALL the time. After you were done in the room, there was a large basket of flowers that you could take. I chose a deep purple carnation. Such a simple but powerful thing- sitting in silence- that can make you feel so much better. 

After work, I decided to paint. Boy after a month long break, it felt good to throw some paint around. Looking at all the paint colors, I couldn't wait to get something on the canvas. It made me so happy tonight. 

I hope you enjoy not only the big moments but all the small moments too.
