Walking through my door upon returning home this afternoon, the sun was warm and brilliant, the boys were happy and the birds were chirping. Taking a quick tour of the neighborhood, feeling the sun on my face was the most wonderful priceless gift as the boys strutted and meandered along the
sidewalk.
Little, everyday details and moments matter.
After a week of befuddling, speed-defying news about the ever-changing pandemic, being home, settling into the pace that has been enjoyed and established for many years, I quietly expressed gratitude for all that was well in the moment, which was much.
The calming classical music filled the home this evening as I typed away and Norman rested on my feet. Oscar napped and then asked for his evening snack. All de rigeur moments that brought a smile to my face. Such moments of tranquility are what living well involves and offers. We need only remember to be present and savor them, and practice cultivating them
regularly regardless of what the world whirls into and/or around our lives.
The unknown is unsettling to say the least, and while each of us will experience the unknown in our own unique circumstances and for our own unique reasons, here are a few articles from the archives you might be interested in reading: Why It's Okay Not to
Know and Dealing with the Unknowns in Life. Neither were written for the situation the world finds iteself in at the moment, but hopefully they can offer some calm and reassurance. And speaking of calm, this episode, 14 Ways to Get Back to Calm (episode #121), may be just what you are looking for at this moment as we step into a weekend.
May your weekend provide respite, provide comfort and provide time to pursue what you love when time is not a worry and restful wandering is pursued.
