Sunday ... just right

My sister is recuperating quite well. This makes me extremely happy.

After assisting with her overnight medications, I allowed myself the luxury of staying in bed reading for the better part of the morning. Had some tofu blintzes for breakfast but the coffee left much to be desired. I will change that today by purchasing some delicious coffee.

I have just a few chores/errands scheduled for today: poop scoop (yes, I love my dog in spite of this duty.) Maintain my spa, water the garden. I should also do a little bit of grocery shopping to keep healthful food on hand.

Major part of the day left for reading, playing games online with sis and watching videos. Then it is time to clean up and prepare for another week of right livelihood.

Ahhh ... savoring each moment.

Remembrances of Short Periods of Joy

Sometimes all we have at the end of the day is a remembrance of a short period of joy. A time from our past that is so joyful, so vivid, it can be relived immediately. The sights, sounds, feelings and passions. All right there just a fraction away from the cosmic heart.

Once upon a time it was a window looking over the ocean in Hana Hawaii; it is the sound of a tree falling in the redwoods and the ground shaking; climbing up the middle of a waterfall; waking up in a tent with a day full of promise ahead. Receiving the exact same Christmas card I gave and laughing so hard it was soon rolling on the floor time.

Oh well, back to today.

Friday ... Holiday Weekend

My sister had surgery today. She is home now and resting.

My shadow self tried to usurp my authority with a migraine headache early in the morning. But I would have none of that. I squashed it with medicine and an ice pack and was ready to the go to the hospital right on time.

I would love to believe I am an enlighted soul but I guess I have a way to go since my martyr is trying so hard to be ill and get attention. Ha Ha! Say I. I have your number, martyr. Here is a positive task to use your energy instead. Go do it!
