I think that one of my favorite things is to wake on Saturday morning, give some smooches and tummy rubs to the doggies, and realize that I have very little on my agenda for the day. It is such a nice feeling to putter around outside, snipping the roses, feeding the koi, and just taking it all in.
This morning, I was able to spend some quality time with the doggies outdoors. Muffin rolled her ball down the hill --- over and over. And Missy Booness sniffed every crook and crannie of the fence. The birds were very active, singing and flying around. I sat on the glider drinking a cup of coffee and reading a book. The sun was warm, and I could see the fruit on my trees. It was good. I paused, watched and felt the moment. I told myself to enjoy it - to delight in it. Life has many, many struggles. If it isn't one thing, it is another. Times without struggle, without stress are rare. But not this morning. Not today. Today, I will live in the moment.
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early spring's a flower,
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day,
Nothing gold can stay.
