10 minutes to gratitude

walking home from dropping the boy off at preschool has become an unexpected gift.

i get 10 minutes.

just

to listen.

to notice.

 

to remember 
what it was like,

just
to put one foot
in front 
of the other,

just 

to be 

me.

whatever state of mind i began with,


it's a 10-minute gift

to walk home 

and find myself

back 
to 
grateful.


even if i still have the morning grumpies.
