thoughtful thursday

fall beckoned.  i complied; the screened porch my destination.  while i sat, i was soon covered with the three kittens.  as they snoozed in a heap on me, i looked at the vista beyond the porch.  there was so much to see; the ducks lazing on the water, the birds going about their day, the turtles sunning themselves at water's edge, observing the trees to discover which leaves had begun to be painted with fall's colors. although it was very enjoyable to sit there it was soon that i thought that i "should" be doing something.  as soon as that thought came to mind it occurred to me that i WAS doing something.  i was immersed in the glorious season of autumn.  i was in that moment instead of there and somewhere else at the same time.  i allowed myself to DO this for quite awhile and it was time well spent.
