Right Now

I left the jobs that always feel so important. I didn’t empty the dishwasher or load the washing machine. I didn’t even unpack my bag.
Instead, I put the kettle on, picked up my notebook and my Kindle and sat down in the sunshine.
Right now, the paving is warm under my feet. The only sound is the birds and someone cutting their grass in the distance. The sun is warm on my face, and the dog is asleep by my feet. The street is quiet and no-one is passing by. It’s very peaceful.
So… I’m going to enjoy it.
Just for a little while, until they come home.
Peace. Just for a moment right now, while I drink my tea.
The funny thing is, the minute I stopped writing, I realised I was listening out for them. I might like the peace, but I do miss them when they aren’t here.
