It has been said that you should value the simple things in life, and on a morning such as this, I must agree. I am sitting at my kitchen table with a cup of tea and the kids are playing upstairs. My wife is sleeping in and I have not a worry in the world.
I am putting some new music into my collection (compliments of the local library) and I am finding a few moments to update my blog (that nobody reads). The sky is overcast and I am a happy man.
All of this is possible because we set the clocks back an hour this morning and my body doesn't know it, so in essence I got a free hour, to do with what I will. I am thankful for the little things in life. I am also thankful for the bigger things in life, that I only really get to focus on during these moments of solitude, when reflection is possible.
I am thankful that I am given the opportunity to have moments of rest. It is through the hard work I put in every day that I can afford to stop every once in a while to do some mental accounting. Stress is the bugger that won't let us enjoy the little things in life. It forces one to constantly look past the moment to an uncertain future, thereby not allowing one to revel in the beauty of a bonus hour added to a quiet morning.
