Today I woke up, showered, dressed, and then made tea. Typical ritual. While waiting for the water to boil I stepped outside onto my back deck. The weather was perfect. Absolutely perfect. The sun was out. I could her insect noises. I heard a dog bark. I heard the wind blowing through the trees. I could hear cars in the distance. I smelled the air and it smelled like bark. The morning was so perfect I knelt down onto my kness, stretched my arms into the air, and breathed deep.
I sat there for a few minutes like this. Taking it all in. It felt so good. I stood up. I stretched my arms up again. I twisted back and forth a couple times, with my arms still raised, scanning my back yard. I smiled and stretched my arms up higher and let my head fall backward. The sun, the smell, the noises, it all felt like heaven. I could swim in them forever.
Eventually I turned and went into my kitchen, but I kept my door open so the breeze and sounds of outside trickled in. I had my stevia sweetened tea with peaches and blueberries mixed, and I thought of what to do next with myself.
I came upstairs and I wrote this because I thought.......I am getting somewhere. I feel good.
