Quietness

What a morning! 


It's just 10am and as I sit with my cup of coffee (cup # 3 for the morning) and reflect over my morning I see how busy I can be just being busy.


 Alex's new caregiver, Zach, started this morning... you would think that having a caregiver for Alex would make things "easier"... well, it does in some ways and in some ways, not so much. Since today was his first day with Alex, we needed to go over "rules" and schedules and Alex seemed to need a lot of "re-directing" today.


I've "started" many things so far this morning, but nothing is done or completed.  The dishwasher is half-emptied, 3 fliers are in various stages of completion on my computer, my Bible is open to my devotions for the morning (but I haven't even glanced at it yet), and the list goes on and on and on and (well, you get the idea...)


So what do I do? My first instinct is to find another "project" to start and busy myself with yet another thing on my list to do.   


I think for now, I will just sit...  sit in the quietness and be thankful
