the pause

Sometimes there are things you have to do that you would rather not do.

All the what-ifs create angst.

As I headed down our driveway yesterday, I paused. 

There is a lot to be said for pausing. It creates space for beautiful moments. 

I wished for more time, to linger in that space.

Looking through my truck window, I knew I didn't need it. 

I paused just long enough for Hope (and Brad) and my angst simply melted away.

Happy to say it did! Thank you for thinking of me!!

I had no idea they were walking in the field. I stopped long enough to roll down my window and chat for a few seconds. Hope was so cute and looked at Brad as if to say "haaay, that is my mom in that rolling box".

I was wishing for time so Hope could walk closer to my truck, and up to the window. Desensitizing is best not rushed.

This pause struck me positively.

What a sweet image. I “hope” whatever was causing you angst was resolved. It sounds like it was.
