I love the moments that slow me down.

I was caught up in checking my email and looking at facebook and something caught my eye.

This swing is out the window that is to the right of my shoulder when I am on my computer. I snuck out of the front door hoping to leave him undisturbed, just swinging.

But he caught me. I’m not very sneaky.

This is how I want to live my days.

I like naps. I have a tendency to let a well intentioned ten minute cat nap turn into an afternoon in dreamland.

So I am admitting it to all of you. I want to be awake. I want to remember the joy that I find in the unexpected be gripped so tightly in my hands that I can’t stand to be asleep.

With my eyes wide open,

Kate
