Sip on a Cup of Peace

Today was a much needed rest day because of a bad weather day here in Austin. I just love it when snow and ice fall because it makes people stop and take time to slow down and stay indoors. Sometimes in life all we need is to SLOW down and enjoy life. I remember as a child lying down in the grass with the warm sun on my face and watching clouds form different shapes. I probably laid there for hours but not only was I soaking in the sun, but it seemed I was taking in something you can never find in a bottle...peace.
On weekends, many times I will wake early and grab a cup of coffee and just absorb the sound of still and quiet. That was much like today. Yes, it was a quiet day today and many times felt like I needed to be at work. But then I reminded myself there are times when I just need to slow down and sip on a cup of peace.
