What was the best part of today?
Was it waking up to yet another gorgeous morning in my new city, the sky’s blue clarity and sunny brilliance banishing old remembrances of unbearably long stretches of greyness and seemingly endless rain?
Was it the kindness of friends, old and new, taking time to make me a part of their day, to encourage and honour me with their caring words?
Was it the delicious anticipation of my decadently-long four-day weekend to come?
Was it hearing good news of exciting happenings in friends’ lives?
Was it the meditative peace of tending my herb garden?
Was it the feeling of joy bubbling up from depths of contentment, just for being alive… right here, right now?
Yes.
Oh, what a needed uplifting post! Life is a gift. And you remembered that today.

Love this. I was going to do a post with a similar sentiment today, but I am too pleasantly tired, so just for you: “A day which begins with a SKYPE call from my oldest, dearest friend and ends with a treat of fish ‘n’ chips & no less than three flavors of gelato, can’t be bad. The bit in between somehow settles into perspective.” And now there is this happy and inspiring post from you just to complete the day, so I’m off to bed now to fall asleep with these happy thoughts. Thank you.
