Life is Good

I have so much on my mind right now, and, like grains of sand slipping through my fingers, I can already feel the beauty of this day slipping right out of my hands. It is just too lovely of a day, of a life, to let it go to waste. My goal for today is to try to keep my focus on the present moment as often as I can remember to do so--not on my fears, not on my to-do/can't-do list--not on anything but this very moment.

Right now, there is a gentle breeze blowing in the window---the OPEN window! It is 70 degrees outside and sunny. I have on shorts and a t-shirt and I am comfortable (no Lyme chills/Lyme sweats!). I'm savoring a kombucha, which one of my dear friends brought specially for me in a care package. Birds are singing outside of my window. Wind chimes off in the distance are jangling/singing/dancing happily. The smell of flowers is wafting into my room.

Yes, life is hard; life is painful. But life is good and it is beautiful. How easy it is to miss it!
