I woke up feeling refreshed and happy this morning.
It felt good to get the house spruced up yesterday.
If felt a little stale and stuffy when I returned home
after being away for two weeks.
It's overcast and breezy today. We've got storms moving in.
Otis just let out a howl. It makes me smile.
He's our neighbors hound dog, and I just love the big ol' goofy guy.
I just noticed the message on the label dangling out of my mug of tea,
and it reminded me of a moment from back home.
My childhood friend and I went on a little outing,
had lunch at a quaint little bistro, and then an afternoon walk to
soak up the gorgeous day, & our rapidly dwindling time together.
"We are all fabulous in our own way."

We thought she was a hip older woman.
When we reached her, she turned out to be really hip young woman.
We appreciated her and send her much love. 💗
Here are a few top picks on things that I am so grateful for this morning:
3 apple cider donuts (from Taft Farms)
that I carefully packed away in my carry on traveled well.
Having a coffee & donut moment with hubby.
Sharing a special treat with the taste from home,
and the cozy memory of my Dad and I having our first cup of coffee & a cider donut
the morning I left.
Wildflowers still blooming in my garden,
and vases of freshly picked blooms brightening up my windowsill.
Wearing the same hoodie I wore on the chilly mornings back home,
and feeling comforted.
Waking up to cloud dappled sky, in blues, pinks and greys,
and the chance of a storm moving in.
Feeling so much love for & from my family and friends.
And (now that she's over being mad that I left) Polly too.
And my favorite takeaway from my journal this morning:
"You are not bouncing haphazardly through time and space.
Invite Me into your decisions. I know how to get you where you want to go.
"The greatest service you can offer to Me, yourself & the energy
of the universe is a blessing."
~God~
Sending you blessings.
Be well.
xoxo
