March 25th, 2022

After a gloomy and rainy yesterday, today is looking promising.  It's much cooler and far less humid this morning. I am seeing patches of blue and bits of sunshine here and there.  I have no appointments on my calendar, windows open all over the house, 3/4  of the coffee cake I made on Wednesday still remain uneaten,  I have a remarkably short gotta-do list, a stack of unread books and the weekend before me.  Life is good.

It doesn't take much to make me happy.  Not to be too "Walden Pond" about it, but for me, there is a beauty and a truth in simplicity that is unapparelled.  There is nothing wrong with a grand event or a resplendent moment but I can appreciate  it best from afar.  Those sorts of things are so far outside my comfort zone that it's kind of unimaginable to me.  Some people shine in the spotlight, it's where they belong.  They love the stage with all eyes on them and we love seeing them there.    But me?  Nope. Not even close.  I am happiest when my life is uncomplicated and relatively quiet with no drama but a lot of laughter.

So whether you are center stage, in the audience or just walking past the theatre, I hope this weekend, you are in the place that  makes you happiest.

Hugs all 'round.
