Cows frolicking in the field (yes..they do frolic at times) , the warm sun shining on my face, the neighbor´s cat doing rollovers on the pavement underneath the chair I’m sitting in, as a desperate attempt to appear cute enough to be given a tasty treat. This is my morning. My online classes I’m teaching have their assignments, and I’m deciding on what to get on the weekly grocery run….definitely some ingredients for a vegan culinary masterpiece for myself…since I actually have time to make one. Perhaps “masterpiece” is a bit superfluous…but I have high expectations for myself..lol.

Even though the weather is warming up and I am getting antsy to go out into the world and live, to enjoy the company of my loved ones, and to once again travel to all of the spectacular destinations I have planned to go, I am still content sitting in my backyard. Breathing the fresh air, having funny conversations with my son…(while often dodging his pleas to play one on one soccer every 5 minutes….lol), looking at the bees and butterflies flutter about, I am content.

Living in the moment is all we can do. Often times, our minds are focused on the past or the future…never the present. This is our time to breathe, reflect, and live in the present. I am grateful for this moment.

Let me know what you are grateful for.

Thanks for stopping by! XOXO
