Doing Nothing

I've forgotten, and maybe quite conveniently too,
that i signed up to receive a newsletter
from Oprah Winfrey's website.
Now to be honest,
I've never actually opened
one of these newsletters
and really looked through them.

It's quite a packet of information, really.

Sometimes, we get reminders
about what to cherish and value
from the oddest of places.
I got mine today from a quote
from Oprah's newsletter. it said:

Yes there are many things
that need to get done,
but at this moment
I have nothing to do.

I think it's important for us to remember
that we should take the time to be quiet
and to appreciate moments when we're alone
and there is a moment of stillness in our lives.
We sometimes live lives that are too busy
that we forget to give ourselves a moment
to quiet our spirits and center ourselves.

I'm thankful for this moment of stillness.
The worrying and the problems can come later.
For now, I'm sitting here
just appreciating that right now,
I don't have to do or say anything.
