Nowhere Today

Today Sarah and Hannah sailed to New York via Australia in a molded plastic outdoor chair with a jump rope for a seat belt.  They were going to see the Statue of Liberty but got sidetracked when their sister asked them to help her build a workshop out of some old scraps of wood.

Sometimes I get so busy doing whatever it is I do that I forget to slow down and be present for these great little moments.  Sarah and Hannah really weren't going anywhere, but as one of my favorite authors points out nowhere is really just now-here.  So at least for a moment today I was nowhere with my girls.  It was nice.
