When I woke up this morning I could tell that it would be
another cloudy and most likely rainy day.
You get so you can feel it in your bones. I must say I am tired of the damp. Of course this time of year if it is not wet
then it is hot and dry. I hate to wish
my life away but I am looking forward to mid August, that is when the temperatures
start to mellow and I can once again comfortably work outside and as always I
have a lot to do...
This morning I did catch a little glimpse of sunshine, that one little red orb waiting for me to
come and get it. I will wait a little
while and hope that a little sun touches it.
One of the most simple of pleasures is popping a warm fresh off the vine
cherry tomato in the mouth. Sun or no
that tomato will not be there tomorrow....
Trip is starting to really show her age, she is having some
trouble walking but heck she will be 15 in September, she is an old lady, her
time left on this earth is measured in weeks or months not years. She is still alert, her bark still set's the
other dogs off. She still seems to like
to lie down by my chair while I drink my coffee and tool the net. And while her eyes are not as bright as they
once were she seems to still "be there". Its hard to tell with a dog but she seems to
still understand what I want her to do. She
is a good dog and I very much enjoy her presents.
The world today is a troublesome one. It seems like political discourse is every where
and if you listen to the media Armageddon is around the corner. It is hard to find simple right now, simple
pleasure, simple conversation, simple life.
But if you look hard enough you will find little glimpses of it. That cherry tomato, the rain, that loved dog.
Simple. One does not have to stick their
head in the sand for simple, one can be aware
of the world around them and know what is happening. One can actively live in the world and do
what they can to change it and still not be consumed by the troubles of the
world. Find that little simple every
day, be truly happy for just a few minutes every day. Your life will be better and the lives around
you will be better.
