At This Moment

From past experience, I knew the trial would be interesting, even exciting, and dull and boring at times.  I wondered how long it would last, and how much work was piling up on my desk.  What if Blondie, Brat Boy, or Dr. Deb needed me and I couldn’t get to my phone?

I took a deep breath, held it, and then released it slowly.

At that very moment, I sat in a comfortable chair, in a warm room, with nothing to do but relax. I would deal with work when I got back to work. If I truly was needed, I could ask to be excused.

I pushed aside my worries, counted my breaths, and started a gratitude list in my head.

Today I’ll live in the moment.
