Simply Being

Simply being. It's one of those things that I have a terribly difficult time with doing, and yet it's really just the simplest thing in the world to do. 

To simply sit. And do nothing. 

And not feel guilty about it. 

I had plans for today. Plans I was excited about. Plans that involved a relaxing but satisfying 10 mile run. Plans that have been put on hold thanks to thunderstorms. 

So I've had to switch my plans. It was tempting to tell myself that I needed to finish editing work for a client or start on a project for another client. It was difficult to let myself put aside that work until another day, to give myself a real weekend for once. 

But I took the break. I brewed myself a delicious cup of tea. Turned up my Ron Pope Pandora station. Curled up on a large brown beanbag draped with a cloth from Costa Rica. 

And watched the rain pour down. 

And did nothing. 

And it was beautiful. Simply Being.
