Sipping my coffee this morning, thinking about time. No particular reason, and thinking about it doesn’t have any notable effect on time, itself. Random bits of consciousness are sort of just… milling around bumping into each other this morning. I take a breathe. The AC comes on. My thoughts move along to other things.
Life’s mundanities sort of take over my awareness for a little while, as I sit with my coffee in the stillness of morning. A hair appointment (time to get the color refreshed)… A business trip (I get to do these now??? wow!)… A painting I notice I haven’t signed (not my first)… The work day ahead of me (it can wait)… The weekend that follows (just in time!)… Bills that need paying (seriously routine stuff)… I think “nothing to see here” and sort of nudge myself along a different path. 🙂
I take a few minutes for myself, still, quiet, reflective.
Life feels good right now. I savor this moment, present, and aware. This, too, shall pass; that’s just real. I take time to properly enjoy it, content with it just as it is. 🙂 It’s enough.
…All that, and a good cup of coffee. It’s time to begin again. 😉
Evening Light 
Missed you yesterday, looking forward to your business trip for YOU!! 😖 Those of us that wait with baited breath to see if you’ve posted for the day will just have to suffer through until you return! LOL!!!! Now THAT was a pretty dam good “Jon Stewart impression” of his Jewish mother’s AWESOME POWERS of guilt, wouldn’t you say???? 😆😆😆😆😆
In all seriousness it’s lovely to hear that you’re looking forward to work related things, not thinking about the exchange of money for limited amount of life’s energy/time. Makes me happy for you, truly. Such a HUGE difference when the place we spend the majority of our time, matters, gives back, validates our effort and time. Have a great weekend and safe travels E.H.!!!!!!
