Downtime

After a few days of rain I finally managed to get out for a walk. It was late as the rain only stopped after sundown. I walked down to a park and settling myself on a rather wonderful variation on a swing looked up at the few stars visible through the clouds. Cimorelli sang in my ears keeping my mind off my thoughts and leaving me hopeful, stronger, reminding me that success has many definitions and is achievable. It is nice to do nothing every now and then. Not wasting time on pointless games or videos, not working or trying to get my messy mind in order. Just stopping, resting, enjoying the fresh air, the motion or stillness of the swing and nature around me. 

Then the wind woke up and reminded me that summer is over, it was cold out and I had better get home and sleep… I don’t want to risk becoming a pumpkin.
