Yes, you read that title correctly and I'm sure it got your attention! I realize I tend to post when my emotions are strongest and that is typically when I'm upset and feeling down. So this morning I thought I'd capture the fact that "it's a good morning!"
I woke rested and enjoyed a nice Keurig cup of Starbucks coffee (I splurged...Starbucks K-cups are a bit more expensive, but it's a treat to myself). The night had a cool breeze with a light raining falling and I slept well. And this morning is quiet--just the chirping of the birds. Some email and text exchanges with friends started my day with a smile--a nice way to start any day!
I have another long list of things I want to get done today (nothing new there...I always have a list going). But I'm inspired because I've already crossed several things off my list before 9 AM!
It's a gray morning...the sky is clouded over but even this does not have me down. As I stood at the kitchen sink and looked up to the sky, I still saw brightness and felt...well, happy. Happy to have such good friends that make me smile just by texting me. Happy that I was moving through my list of "to do's".
Don't get me wrong...I still miss Ed. But I have a lightness this morning, a positive energy... and I'm going to run with it as long as it will last. That could be 5 mins or 5 hours. You never know. And that is why I'm capturing this moment and this feeling.
As I removed the laundry from the washer this morning, I found a dime in the washer. Now some believe dimes are a sign from a loved one who passed. I tend to be more practical and instead wracked my brain to remember if I had picked up a dime at some point and put it in the pocket of the pants that were in the wash. I don't remember doing that, but I must have. Or maybe it is a sign from a loved one? Either way, I've tucked that shiny dime in my pocket this morning. If I leave it there, maybe it will show up again at the bottom of the washer and help make my day a bright one. It wouldn't have magically appeared as a sign from a loved one; just me forgetting I left it in the pocket. Either way, though, the end result is the same...
I hope you all have some happiness in your day and lightness to your step today! Happy Sunday!!
