I have enjoyed a lovely day. It is after 3p.m. and I am still in my jammies. I have not turned on the television so I am aware of no new crisis or disaster. My dog is sleeping next to me as I type. I await the phone call summoning me to pick up my youngest daughter, Tori, from school. They are casting the high school musical and she was "called back". She may be the lead or she may not receive a part at all. As of this moment, I am happy, content and at peace. No drama to concern me, no trauma to consume me. As much as I would like to stay in this gentle space always, I know I will again be buffeted with the many challenges that await us all in our daily rounds. Traffic, illness, money woes, death. The list goes on and on. There will always be a list. And there will always be a choice, however difficult that may appear at times.
There's the phone. Another opportunity to practice, practice, practice.
How serene. Just my kind of space. Isn't is freeing to be in your jammies at 3 in the afternoon?

It's Saturday, 1:00 pm, and I'm on the sofa watching college football in my jammies. Life is good.
P.s. What a lovely spot in your home!
