From Jan 24, 2009

It’s cold again today.  We were spoiled with three days in a row of more than 70 degrees, and now were back down below freezing.  Such is the pains and joys of living in such a wonderfully strange state such as Colorado.

I sat outside, wrapped in blankets, watching five squirrels in the neighbors’ yards across the street.

I was both surprised and pleased when I caught myself not thinking about it, and just watching.

Sometimes those few moments are what remind me that I can be centered and quieted.
