A moment of contentment

It is a damp, dreary day but the rain has stopped momentarily.  Each of my boys has a friend over.  That makes 6 boys playing in our tiny front yard.  Four are playing two hand touch football.  Two are riding in circles on their trikes.  There is laughter, the calling of plays, high fives.  

Lately I've been feeling like I'm at a crossroads in my life.  Instead of feeling excited about the opportunity for a new beginning, I feel sad and unsure.  So sitting on our doorstep watching a gaggle of happy boys is a welcome relief from my own swirling thoughts.
