Take Time to Smell the Sheets

I'm just so excited right now about the opportunities in my life. I'm reconnecting with friends and filling my calendar with activities. For example, Friday night I watched The Princess Bride at the Nasher Sculpture Center. It is one of my FAVORITE movies! You have to have an "inconceivable!" sense of humor to enjoy The Princess Bride. (FYI- Nasher plays movies outdoors in the garden during the summer for free. All you do is grab a blanket and/or pillow, a light meal, and enjoy cinema al fresco. Look into it. Cheap date tip #9! Works well for 1 or a party...) I'd been looking forward to it all week. It was such a lovely evening- shoes off, feeling the grass on my toes, laying on the blanket, gentle breeze, a few stars fighting through the downtown lights and treetops... What peace! I have not stopped smiling!

It's so great getting plugged back into the things that bring me joy. Even doing the laundry today had a sense of oneness (Say what!? Now, that's just crazy talk!). Truly, it grounded me in the moment. A kind of "slow down and smell the sheets" thing. And I did. They're warm and soft and smell like teddy bears bouncing on clouds from some reason... But anyway, it meant there's plenty of time for life, success, failures, and the laundry.
