We have a brief respite from the heat here in Sacramento, with the cooling Delta Breeze providing a very comfortable morning. I’ll be heading out to my balcony soon to scan the paper, read the comics, and, most importantly, work the puzzles. My morning starts with coffee, prayer, and meditation, then more coffee and the newspaper. I’m kind of old-fashioned in that I still get the paper on paper. It’s what I prefer, and I still have that option.
I’m fortunate in that I, as a retired person, can opt to start my day in such a relaxed way. I’m very grateful for that. I fill my day with activities that interest me, and try to balance those things which only benefit me with those which give me a sense of purpose in serving others. The scales tip back and forth, but on the whole, they find their center.
On this crisp-air morning, I am grateful for all that I have, all I can do, and for the possibilities which lie ahead. May I be up to whatever task lies ahead, and open to whatever my part in it is.
And so it is.
