"let's just sit here..."

sounds easy...isn't really. today, after a particularly taxing day, ryan put his arm around me and said those words. he could've been shouting off the grand canyon walls because that phrase just kept hitting my ears again and again. it got me thinking about how hard it is to take time to be still. it's so important yet so difficult. i think i would've thought it an easy task for me. anyone that really knows me knows that i love to pass the time sitting, chatting, thinking; however, even as i sat there in the silence i found my mind racing over my "to do" list and plotting my next move. as spring approaches i hope i can find time to be still, just sit here, and enjoy the little things. they count for so much and really take so little time from all of those things we think are so important.
