Oh my goodness...

I just discovered that somebody read my blog & I can't believe it. So now, I have to write. What to say? Oh yes, big news, I turned 50 this week and I feel like I have crossed over to a place where each day is a gift and the pace of life needs to match the rhythms of my heart and spirit. I'm not exactly sure what that means and how it will play out practically, but did you see that movie The Proposal? There is a scene where the mother is returning to the house and there are 75 people there for a welcome home party and she is deliberately just strolling across the dock in no hurry to make sure everyone is taken care of or the caterers are doing their jobs or whatever. She seems intent on just taking in and enjoying the moment. Can it be done? I think I intend to try. Don't you just love a creamy cup of coffee on a cool morning? I wrap my hands around the warm cup and breathe in the steam and the fragrance and take the first yummy sip........Thank you for simple blessings--let me not take them for granted and to remember the cost.
