Permission Granted

Every day has its ups & downs,

but today I granted myself

permission

to stop,

pause,

hesitate,

wait

and really feel the Ups

when four months of effort at work 

paid off in two really big ways.

Two children

got what they needed.

So before any inevitable

swoops and downs landed,

I put my arms out wide

gathered in the shear Bliss

and

felt

grateful,

peaceful,

content.

Part of being

in

the

moment.
