Thinking Time

Today is just like any other day.  
Sitting at the kitchen table I work steadily through the hours.  
Then a loud clap of thunder distracts me.  
I listen, get up and go to the back window.  A few minutes later the rain begins, its soft clinking on the windows around and above me creates a melodic rhythmic beat.  I gently open the window and a soft chilly air embraces me. 
I drink in the sweet smell of rain and damp grass, it evokes memories of long gone days of family and love but here, now, standing in my kitchen I look at the soft green hues in my back garden as life returns to it, and I feel totally relaxed and refreshed.  
I thank my angels for bringing all this beauty to my attention.  A beauty which would have totally passed me by if I had remained engrossed at my computer.  
A short thinking time does wonders for the spirit and soul and is very much needed from time to time.
