Life gets better and better as choices get fewer and fewer. Simplicity has become a wonderful friend to me. Whether it is in housekeeping, entertainment, finances or just daily routine; less is just well ... more.
I love the kind of day that slowly unfolds with no agenda other than to live it. The pleasant aroma of coffee brewing mixed with that delicious smell of bacon frying. So, ok, if that doesn't happen til 11:00...it really is fine to eat lunch and breakfast together. Its called brunch. Something the working folks can only enjoy occasionally.
Watching an old B&W movie in my p.j.'s and enjoying the popcorn that goes so well with it; rambling through the day talking to my old Friend at length or just taking what comes my way, makes for a satisfying day. It is amazing how many places I see the hand of God in my life. Perhaps my favorite time comes along about dusk when I can sit on the back porch and watch as the light filters through the tress in perfectness and that sweet hush surrounds me.
Of course, every day isn't like this. Many days are full of errands, people, projects, cleaning, cooking, running, running, running, and I enjoy them as well. But, I'm realizing that more and more often, the simple days of just 'being' come along. And more and more often, I enjoy them thoroughly!
No great moral here - no great advice - just the ramblings of a lady who has made peace with life. God is good to me and I am thrilled that I have time to enjoy His blessings. Come sit with me on the porch and we will visit and ponder on the important things of life: like what's for supper!
Lovin' the season...
