I can tell you right now what today will be like. A chilly morning walk and talk. Jeans for Casual Friday. Children with smiling faces. Lunch at home with the doggies and a flying trip to the Habitat ReStore.
It has all the ingredients for a happy life: family, friends, furbabies, some exercise, creative/artistic pursuits, a satisfying day at work and a weekend to look forward to.
What brought this on? Yesterday The Universe sent me the same message from several different directions--small repeated hints that life is precious, that the future is a gift, that I need to appreciate the simple joys of day-to-day living. I'm not quite sure what I did to deserve the prod, because I thought I was carping the diem fairly well, but I'm smart enough to take the hint and spend a little energy cherishing the things I have and loving the people around me.
Today I'm sending some love out to all of you, my friends. Have a simply wonderful ordinary Friday!
That is such a darling picture. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope nothing too bad happened to give you this carpe diem feeling. I certainly have been feeling that way myself lately what with everything going on. However, seizing the day is a bit difficult to do on crutches. :)
I'm convinced that appreciating the little things and ordinary moments in life makes for a happy person, which you seem to be!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post. You are so right...sometimes it seems like life is about one struggle after another...then you remember the blessings and choose to cherish them instead. Have a wonderful week. Thanks for the nice comment on my blog. I will be adding myself to your followers as soon as I can get my downloadable picture to work...don't want to just leave you the shadow.
