After reading Myrl Jeffcoat post about a Normal Day I realized that's how I've been feeling a lot this past few months. Here's the comment I left on Myrl's post. The bold section was Myrl's comment to someone else.
Hi Myrl Jeffcoat I know that feeling - comforting to just have an unusually casual, unadorned, unadulterated normal day! It almost felt like some kind of luxury! Appreciating the little moments and things.......is almost like a little island of contentment lately.
This is exactly how I feel now - it's almost like a little island of contentment!
The photo is at the top of Shaw Butte, the mountain behind our home - My little island of contentment! The 'place' I am in now is how I felt while out hiking every day. Coming down the hill and looking out over all the beauty was an amazing AWE inspiring feeling....contentment.
Day in and day out I've been content to enjoy whatever is right in front of me, whether it was a new recipe, a pretty bird in the yard, a call from a friend, watching a sunset, reading all the December Holiday Challenge posts, spending time with a friend or two, whatever! It's all perfect!
There is a sense of peace around me all the time lately. And in a way there really always has been, but it's different now. Gone is the desire to go here, go there, accomplish this, that and the other thing! It's interesting because I'm busier than ever but I don't feel crammed or rushed. I simply feel peaceful. And I'm enjoying and having so much fun on my island. I appreciate it all.
An Island of Contentment!
