In the Moment

Why is that I feel all philosophical after I've worked?  It's either the harsh realization that there are MANY people worse off than anything I've dreamt thus far or the fact that I'm tired enough for my brain to slow down and consider life.  Probably a little of both.  Anyway, we were playing at the park this morning.   Katie and Mary played on the swings - they love to share the one big swing even though they get "squooshed" as Katie puts it.  Then they did the rollie slide - over and over, while holding hands (so cute!).  Katie then found a friend, as she does every time we go anywhere and was playing with her friend.  Jack and Grace were on the basketball court for camp.  Mary discovered the tunnel on the playground.  Of course, she still called it a "slide," but it does have a decline, so close enough :).  She would scoot herself down while watching for me through the little holes.  Once she got to the end, she would turn around and crawl back up.  She would giggle and laugh.  It was so relaxing to see.  In that instant I realized I was not thinking about the chores that needed to be done at home or the work that laid ahead of me.  I was in the moment, and the moment was amazing.  Praise be to God!
