Taking Time To Notice

This is the view from the front porch at Mike’s house. I stopped to snap a photo after crossing through the living room and noticing the view from the window. I had been working on reading for tomorrow night’s class, compiling a purchase order for my school’s book room, and jotting notes to myself for tomorrow’s lessons. It had been a busy time, but when I glanced outside and noticed the sunset, I had to stop and take time to pay attention to the beautiful colors. I stepped out onto the porch and for several minutes just soaked it all in. It was such a peaceful sight and I felt myself relaxing and ready to settle back down at the desk to complete my tasks.
