Yesterday I did three weeks of housework, and pruned the
Bird. This was followed by a three dog nap and a quiet day. Every day I feel a
bit better and am looking for 100% again. Today I will finish writing the
prompt and get the house ready for my writing friends. I look forward to our
time together. The sharing is deep and meaningful. I may do a little grocery
shopping. The dogs need a cauliflower. The days go by too fast.
The little things that make life worth living
Waking up smiling with my version of up dog and down dog to
wake up my body.
Waking up with Minnie nuzzling my hair and licking my face.
I reach for her silky fur and feel her warmth.
The first cup of coffee. I set up the coffee maker before I
go to bed and push the button before I feed the dogs. Then, ah, sit down and
enjoy the heat, the aroma, and the first sip. I thank myself for it.
Smiles. Whether
giving or receiving, a smile can make me feel connected to the other
person. It’s an exchange of energy.
Meaningful conversations. Whether it’s a brief catch-up and
hug, spontaneous meeting or a sit down to find out how our lives are working
out.
Soup. I love making soup and I love eating soup. My favorite
is bean soup. The broth feels like it runs around in my body and makes me
happy.
Service. Using my time and skills to help out in any form is
worthwhile.
Weather. I love weather and following the science of
forecasting.
Dog excitement The greeting from the dogs when I have been
out of the house even for a few minutes.
Poetry although Mary Oliver is my favorite, I also like
others like Wendell Berry
The warm spot in the bed after getting up at night.
