I am realizing how I MUST MUST live in the "right now" of it all.
I must take joy and peace and pride in what is actually happening . . . actually right now.
Today . . .
Went to the library; saw lots of kids walking and riding bikes to get there . . . some came in with their helmets on.
Ate a crepe with wonderful blue cheese inside.
Helped an old man put a watermelon in his trunk . . . and then he pointed to his groin area and explained that he just had surgery.
Bought and arranged two beautiful bouquets of flowers.
Smiled as a I pulled out a beautiful yellow bowl from my cabinet to defrost chicken in.
Simple pleasures people . . . I have forgotten how much they soothe and feed and nourish and grow and heal . . . keep your eyes open . . . they are all around . . . and my attentiveness is just begining.
thanks cara, i laughed out loud at the man thanking you with a groin surgery story. :) that was one of my simple pleasures today.
ReplyDeleteP-NUTTY . . .
ReplyDeleteREALLY IT WAS AS HEART-WARMING AS A CAT BRINGING A DEAD MOUSE TO THE FEET OF HIS BELOVED OWNER!
. . . IN OTHER WORDS, YOU APPRECIATE THE GESTURE AS MUCH AS YOU ARE DISTURBED BY THE CONTENT.
ReplyDeletei never thought that simple pleasures would include men pointing to their groin area... but who am i to judge?
