The Underneath...

Just what is this? 

Why am I taking a picture of it?

What significance does it have in my everyday?

Let me tell you...

THIS is the underside of my dining room table.

I'm taking a picture of it because as I was laying on the floor playing with the babez today, I looked up and realized how gorgeous it is! Just look at the grain of the wood and the workmanship in the construction. I also LOVE the numbers and letters that are stamped on it too... you know me and all things texty/numerally!!!
DELISH!

So, why is this significant... 

I spend a lot of time on the floor with the babez...

This week has been a particularly bumpy one...

All three of us have been battling "sick" for the past three weeks...

It appears that we are getting better and then the 'snot patrol' needs recruiting again!

There are many thingz that I NEED to maintain everyday.

There are some thingz that I would like to see progress on and then there are a few thingz that I just NEED to be able to play with everyday to keep all of my marbles "in the bag!" 

As I was playing 'Human Jungle-gym' today, I saw a different perspective of this table.

I saw that it was just as loverly underneath (perhaps even more so, to me) as it was above.

It's all about perspective...

Regardless of our circumstances, we can find beauty in our surroundings.

What we are doing today won't be what we are doing in 10 years...possible even one year!

So we need to take the time to appreciate what we are seeing/doing now... what can we learn from it?

Are we suppose to be learning a lesson from it?

There are many questions we could be asking ourselves...

...some of us may not have the time to be asking them right now...

...we may have to wait for another time to ask...

...or to receive the answer...

But I think that in the meantime, we could 'ponder'...

Ponder the question... ponder many questions... ponder some possible answers...

ponder the lessons...  

Pondering, for me, is letting my mind wander to wherever it wants to go in regards to a certain topic.

It allows my brain to relax and open up to ideas the I might not have considered or thought of before...

That's how it works for me.

This new look at the underside of my dining room table allowed my mind to ponder just where I was today and to appreciate where I was and to live IN the moment and learn from whatever was around me.

Who would have guessed such a lesson could have been learned from laying on the floor while two sick, snotty babez crawled up and over Mt. Mom!
