This

For this.
For this, I turned off my office computer at 4:50, instead of 5:00.
For this, I cleaned my desk, put on my coat and jangled my keys at 4:55, instead of 5:00.
I was handed one last folder to file
{with my coat on!}
and one more form to scan...
But, for this, I was out the door and in my car at 5:00 exactly.
For this, I hurried along, willed the cars in front of me to "move it" so we'd all make it through the light.
I could tell from my office window that the sunset was colorful.
Dramatic.
And I wanted a few minutes of this light by the edge of my pond.
Even just a few minutes at the end of the day, are exceptionally refreshing.
Like a palate cleanser.
The icy winds were gusty. Bone chilling.
But, for THIS
I braced myself against the cold,
took many long, deep breaths
and a few color-filled photos.
Thank you, God, for this.
