Easy Does It

Love those mornings when you wake up without the external stimulation and you just let your body wake to it's own peacefulness.  It's not like I sleep my life away as I feel there is time for sleeping one day in the eternal life.  Don't get me wrong I DO feel that there is point of appropriate sleep for body healing and well being.  But I do cherish those mornings when my body just awakes when it wants too.  

Today is a blessed day for me and starts off with the best part first.  I got to spend the morning with our grandson while his mother did a little working from home.  Just holding him while he falls asleep and singing softly to him is the highlight to the day.  Life is SO wonderful and such a gift to us all.  To be healthy and cherish the days we feel good enough to get ourselves out of bed and move forward with each beautiful day that we are given. 

I called this day an easy does it day because I tend on my days off to run at full speed and not embrace the life I "aspire to acquire" which is the take life slow and cherish the moments.  But today I not only have embraced the day but I have my arms around this day with a full circle hug and I am not going to let the busyness take me where I don't need to go.  

I went and had my hair done with Maddie and she is my artist of a hair dresser.  Anyone that can make this "kitten fuzz" look a bit better is my hero.  She does amazing work and let me tell you her head massage knocks me out.  She is an artist with magic fingers and appreciate her more than she will ever know although I tell her everytime. 

I slipped by my daughter's, and my new favorite coffee shop, the Friendly Bean and picked up a raspberry mocha.  Because the day is dark and a bit dreary with the smell of snow in the air this elevated my mood and the rush of caffeine and sugar accelerated my pace just a bit.  

Deciding that the afternoon will be spent reading and doing a bit of laundry is so comforting to my heart.  Not sure that I can say enough how the joys of the little things bring comfort to my heart.  As I begin the weekend a little earlier than most I feel blessed.  Easy does it...
