Today I watched a cloud float by
By far my favorite accomplishment of the day
Time paused as I watched
graceful puff of white against blue
All thoughts paused
No To Do List
No guilt
No aching muscles
No errands
No work
Nothing but the cloud as I watched it float by
in the blue blue sky

This poem represents how I have learned to spend more time slowing down and appreciating the beauty of small, seemingly ordinary things.
