I got up early today to take our daughter to drop her car off, then stopped to have something fixed on my car, picked up prescriptions, got gas and cash, and now it's nine am and I feel like I've been up for hours. Well, I guess I have. I hardly know what to do with myself for the rest of the day. The vista spreads before me as a vast plain, with many possibilities. I see in the newspaper that "The Help" is out, and I really want to go, and I have lunch with a friend for her birthday, and there is the option of doing a Target run. Really, the world is before me.
Last night I called a friend and after we'd caught up a while, she said she was eating frozen yogurt on a bench overlooking the lake, and it seemed so delightful, that I felt I was there on the bench with her, watching the people stroll by and seeing the lights reflected in the water. She had her little dog with her, and I was transported just imagining her there, while I was on my bed at home. It was a lovely moment.
It was sunny from the get-go this morning, and it's affecting my mood in the most positive way, and having the stock market not go to zero yesterday definitely helped. London is disturbing, and much suffering is occurring, and I'll pray for everyone, but live this day lightly, in gratitude.
