The weather is incredible this morning. It's 76 degrees. The sun is out. There is a little breeze. And as I sit here writing this post, I am enjoying a berry smoothie and homemade honey-wheat toast with butter and honey on top. I began my morning by reading in bed for a bit - the best book I have read in a while, and speaking to my mother briefly on the phone. You know how every now and then everything just seems to be right. This is one of those every now and thens.
Last night, I spent the evening under a full moon, listening to some great music. The last band, CAKE (which is one of my many favorites) was awesome. But then I have never seen them not be awesome. At one point, the lead singer John McCrea made a comment about being in the moment. He commanded that all electronic devices be put away and that everyone be in the moment.
And this morning, as I write and contemplate what baked good I should make for Sunday Supper Club, I consider how important it is to be in the moment. For some of us ( I don't know... me), it's a difficult assignment. I mean, there is all of that endless amount of stuff to think and worry about. Things that have happened. Things that are going to happen. How it's gonna happen. How you reacted when it happened. How you are going to react when it happens. What it all means when it happens.
This reminds me of an Absolutely Fabulous quote: "...so cheer up world, it may never bloody happen".
And on a day like today, I can do that. A day to spend outside in the yard. A day to plan a Supper Club. A day to go listen to music under the moon. It is a good day.
My life is good... in the moment.
