Oh wow, the weather is turning cooler! “Cool” is relative, of course, but here in Sacramento, it’s time for the down comforter and getting ready to bake. It’s all the way down into the 60’s!
I love this day! I love the invitation of the cooler air and cloud cover to hunker in and bake a pie, or a cake, or cookies, or anything yummy. You know I will! Baking is one of those activities which makes me happy, one which I can’t do in a small apartment in the summer heat. But today I can!
Sometimes—oft-times—it’s the everyday, little things which give me joy. I’m grabbing as much joy as I can, and I’ll happily share it via this blog, over the phone, or in person, accompanied by a good hug! Life is short. Carpe diem. Clasp the good and shake off the nasties. That’s my plan, anyway.
Today is, in fact, the first day of the rest of my life. I will eat it up and savor it. I’ll think kindly of others, then stay out of their way. I will say a prayer for those who can’t see the joy in this day, that they find relief from their sadness or anger, and find that they can simply relax into what is.
I’ll check the to-do’s off of my list, and give myself an attagirl for each completion. It’s a short list, but it includes Have Fun.
I’m grateful for every minute of this day, for what has transpired and for how it will continue to show up.
I’m cool, Baby!
