I had a magical morning today. I woke up around 5:30 and laid in bed for a bit. I started coughing so I got up to get a drink. As I walked into the dining room I noticed the start of daybreak in the east. There was a bright planet shining brightly above the horizon.
I got my drink and then looked to the west. The moon was a giant red ball low on the horizon. I stood and watched it set. I rarely catch a moon set and consider it a sacred moment when it happens that I get to watch it set. The moon will be full tomorrow so it was huge this morning.
After the moon set I turned back to the east and after a bit watched the sunrise. There was a ribbon of color all around the horizon before the sun came up.
I went back to bed and checked my email. I had gotten a beautiful letter from my Match guy. We write each other a letter each day and his letter today was very special.
I was on a gratitude high for a while and couldn’t go back to sleep. I don’t understand why I have been given so much and others have so little. I felt wrapped in love and beauty this morning. It is one of those morning I will put into my memory bank and pull it out and cherish the memories of the beautiful start to my day. I don’t think I will ever tire of seeing the sunrise and the moon set on the prairie. What an honor it was to witness both events this morning.
I called and got an appointment for Thursday to take my taxes to my accountant. I also called and rescheduled Star’s vet appointment for later this week. Nice to get those two appointments on my calendar.
A dear friend of mine is teaching a Feldenkrais class and I was finally able to make it to her class this afternoon. It felt good to lay on the floor and stretch my body.
Tomorrow I have to be in Topeka at 10:45 for my appointment with my Endocrinologist. I have some shopping to do afterwards if it looks like the snow will give me a chance to do so. If not, I will head straight home and order on-line.
Feel a bit like I have floated through this day. Not sure what I have done today. I felt a deep level of contentment and was in slow-motion all day going mindfully though my day. It was one of those days that everything I did felt easy. I have been waiting for the full moon emotional kick to hit me but it didn’t happen today. Felt it over the weekend as I was teary and had no motivation. Maybe that is all I will experience this month.
Grateful for the beauty Mother Nature provided me this morning, grateful for the beautiful letter I received from my Match guy, and grateful for my friend’s class today. I am blessed beyond measure in so many ways.
