What Matters Today
doing my dishes, over and over
washing, folding, and putting away the clothes
dropping off and picking up my son from silversmithing class
checking my e-mail
cooking meals...and planning more
walking the dogs
grocery shopping
cleaning the house
paying bills
organizing next week's school schedule
telling them to stop talking and eat their food, stop arguing. . .
What Matters Tomorrow
watching Blues Clues
stopping to pet all the dogs at the park
strumming the threads of the spider web
watching the creek flow under the bridge
running under the red "magnets" (arches) at the park
stopping to admire the bamboo. . . and talk about pandas
wiping his runny nose, again and again
taking time for hugs and sugars to stave off a tantrum
celebrating with my son as he shows me his first silver creations
not making mountains out of molehills
telling them about Jesus
