Today. . .

Another Thursday...but is it?  Thursday, yes...but 'another', no.  Sometimes I am deceived into thinking the days of the week are a cycle of repetitiveness when, in fact, they are ongoing, forward leading stepping stones that beckon me to follow them through this ever-changing land called Life.  In my journey, all that I can see with any clarity is Today and that, I believe is as it should be.  *All I can see of Yesterday and Tomorrow are the hazy horizons that blur the paths behind and before me.  That too, is as it should be, I believe.

 

I must say, during my stay here in NC, I have adapted easily to the leisure routine of sleeping in, doing minimal household tasks, sipping half-caff coffee, and knitting.  Lots and lots of knitting (my obsession, of late).  In prior months while I was in the doldrums, I decided I needed an attainable goal that would help me feel uplifted when accomplished.  I chose knitting.  Although I had done some knitting in the past, I usually opted to crochet because I was more skilled at that and my slower pace at knitting was frustrating.  With determination, I polished up my needles and, over the winter, dove into all sorts of patterns and yarns.  I am pleased to say, "mission accomplished!"  But now...the only problem is...I can't stop!  I have become a compulsive knitter!

Today is a good day!  I'm sure that is due, in part, to the nurturing of yesterday's impromptu visit with a beautiful long-time friend.  (I was going to say "old" friend but somehow that word is sounding less and less appropriate.)  =^)

 

*I seem to be recalling the 'Pushme - Pullyou' in the story of "Dr. Doolittle and the Pirates" who kept watch of the horizons, using both of his heads, and would say, "I see no danger in front of us" and "I see no danger behind us."  I suppose some preparedness is necessary but I have to wonder if the Pushme - Pullyou missed out on some of the joy of the "Today."
