Calm

Everything was calm this morning. Everything - the lake, the air, the snow, the sunrise. Calm was all around. It was kind of weird. Even the dogs on the beach were calm. I can usually count on at least one dog accosting me on my morning walk but not today. Calm.

Calm is not something I experience on a regular basis. In fact, it usually eludes me. What stuck me as interesting is that calm was there this morning without me even thinking about it. I'm proud of myself for noticing it. I just sat there for a few minutes listening to calm. It did wonders for my morning attitude and spun off into great productivity. Who knew that such a little 4-letter word would be so powerful?
