Being Still

I'm sitting here in a moment of quiet. Both boys are upstairs resting/napping. There are so many things that could be done. I want to make some sort of lenten calendar with a pocket for each of the 40 days of lent, I need to write thank you notes (I'm so behind!) and there are dishes and other household tasks. But, I'm just sitting here and it feels so right.

I think that being still will be my lenten discipline for the year. Right now giving up little comforts seems unnecessary and unhelpful - it isn't very often that I get the comfort of a hot drink or a small piece of dark dark chocolate. But, I do need moments of stillness to reflect, to enjoy, to rest, and to search life. I am hopeful that I can eek out moments of stillness in the day and perhaps share some of them here.
