Minding My Mind

Quiet day, full of college football. Slight guilt, staying indoors most of the day, although I did get out to snap some photos. It was rainy on and off, which made me feel better about staying in.
But my mind was not quiet, not at first. Why is it so hard to just stay in the moment, not thinking about yesterday or worrying about tomorrow? Why is it hard to be here, in this place, and not somewhere else? Why is my mind always churning?
With an effort of the will I managed to focus in on now. Enjoyed football with my Mr., and loved the lentil soup he made in the crock pot. Chopped some wood, napped a little. Watched clouds roll in and out, although I would have liked to see more weather develop. I love thunderstorms. However, what we did get seems to have knocked the internet out, so I guess this post will be late.
Less than a week left to our break. Who knew it would be such hard work to rest?
