Thursday, May 31, 2012 – Celebrating the Day
We don’t have to wait another century or even another year
to celebrate. Each day’s simple
pleasures are reason enough to rejoice.
I went outside before 7 this morning and discovered that our clematis
has finally graced us with a lovely blossom. The humidity has departed, giving way to air that smelled
fresh and sweet. Birds were
twittering and singing with such vigor that I decided to open the windows
(allergies be damned!) so we could enjoy their serenade as we ate our
breakfast.
Speaking of breakfast, I’ve recently become fascinated by
coffee, much as I was fascinated by wine earlier in the year. Elliott sticks to his tried-and-true
French roast, but I like to experiment with different roasts and origins. Every time I run out of coffee, I buy a
new kind. The problem is that I
like them all! Or perhaps that’s
not really a problem.
It’s such a luxury to have the time to sit and scratch out a
few words on a scrap of paper while thoughts are swirling in my head. I’m thinking about how I’ll spend the
next hour – eating my oatmeal and drinking green tea, looking at the newspaper
(after living in the birthday bubble for the past week, I have no idea what’s
going on in the rest of the world), getting ready to go to the gym. I just realized I’m smiling.
