Today was a perfect day, and it’s not even over yet. The sun was shining, just a little warm, when I was up and moving around, with the occasional gentle breeze just when I needed it.
No list of things to do, even though I have a constant one in my head, but nothing pressing me that HAD to get done. I woke up early on a summer day, even so early, my husband and mom both remarked, “Why are you up so early?” Like it was so uncharacteristic of me! I don’t normally sleep late like I used to, and now 9:00 is late, so it really depends on your scale of “normal.” Two cups of coffee and it was time to get started, on what, I didn’t know yet. I showered and ate a low carb breakfast of bacon and eggs. (Low carb diets are so easy until the sun goes down…). I decided I would clean house, and that’s just what I did.
Polished the furniture, windexed (I bet you didn’t know that was a verb did ya?) all the glass, vacuumed and went a step further and shampooed the carpets! Golly! It was hard work! I didn’t realize how much exercise I was getting until 2:00 when the thought occurred to me that it may just be a good time for a nap! So, that I did. Nap. Until it was time to wake, or the time my neighbor decided to mow his lawn. But it was okay, I had already gotten in a few snoozes.
Now, the house looks great, I am well rested and ready to tackle the second half of the day, evening and nighttime. With that comes kitchen chores, schoolwork and deciding what to watch on TV for my background noise. It was a perfect day!
I hope you have a perfect day! And many more after that one, I really do. The world is a much better place when we all have perfect days. Whatever you consider to be perfect, I hope it happens for you.
Happy happy day to you!!! Sounding chipper… I actually slept 10 hours with a little help ( extra sleep pill) far from the last 3 nights of 3 in half hours . I don’t like to sleep that long but today I am happier for it… I have company for this week so no house cleaning for me till they are gone… I have been in the kitchen cooking for everyone for for the past 4 days. Today I get a break, going out for supper! Happy happy happy am I… Today is a good day Friday!!!
awwww, you are a wonderful hostess I am sure, I know you can cook! Have a great day my friend!
Thanks for sharing!
I love your perfect day. I find the simple routines in life make me happy. I wake up earlier than Dan and Justin. I put on my meditation music, open the blinds and make the coffee. I drink my coffee while listening to the sound of the ocean waves on my Pandora radio. Peace and relaxation – That is my true happiness.
yes Mindy! That is what I love about you! Peace comes to you easily because you practice peace! Thank you for taking time out of your routine to read! I think about you often!
