Outside my window…..the sun is shining and the birds are busily fluttering around the bird feeder juggling for the best spaces at the banquet.

I am thinking….how very fortunate I am to be right here right now in this place and space; physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

From the kitchen….I hear the hum of the fridge, a sound that I find very comforting for reasons unknown.  

I am wearing…..my comfy coziest yoga pants and sweatshirt.

I am remembering….how very different life seemed just one short year ago.

I have just started reading…..The Tuscan Year by Elizabeth Romer.  Wonderful book on the deep connection food has upon the soul of a family.

I am hoping….the sunshine remains and the rainy season goes away for a bit.

I am hearing….the soft breathing of two boxers and the gentle ticking of the clock.  From outside comes the droning of a lawnmower.  

Around the house….are assorted piles of jumble that I need to put away.

I am going….to head to the gym within the hour.

One of my favorite things….is a wooden bowl filled with assorted rocks and gems that the girls and I collected over the years and I keep on the coffee table for the grandkids to sort through.

A few plans for the rest of the week……a party for my staff at work just because they rock, printing and framing pictures of my loved ones for a photo collage.
