It's a "folk song" sort of day. I slept in a bit this morning since I found myself struggling with insomnia most of the night. By the time I did my morning workout on my new Total Gym, made coffee, hung sheets on the line, and settled in at my favorite little corner on the porch for breakfast, most of the morning was behind me. I don't like it when that happens. It always leaves me feeling unsettled for the rest of the day; like I'm running behind and have missed a part of my journey I can never reclaim. With Pandora Radio playing sentimental folk music in the background, accompanied by live bird songs, I have tried to simply bask in this amazing day the Lord has made! It is sunny and warm with a light breeze and not a speck of humidity. The leaves rustle quietly. The gentle breath of the fresh air stirs the fragrance of mock orange blossoms, roses, field clover and fresh hay. Despite this serene setting, my attention is drawn to all the "spots" in the yard that are calling me. In my mind's eye I see myself tending to them.
So that's exactly what I will do for the rest of the day. By doing so I will have the honor of being in union with the splendor surrounding me and I will rejoice in this day......
......wherever the music, mingled with my thoughts may take me.
