On days like this, when I have a lot to do, I find it really helpful to keep things as simple as possible. First, move anything that isn’t really essential from the “must do” list to the “extra credit” list.
Even if these lists are just in my mind, it makes a big difference how I think about them, and things go better when I’m gentle with myself.
My simple magic:
Rain! I am loving the sound of the rain falling. It was pouring last night! And everywhere we walk there is splashing and dripping and water running along. I am also very comforted to know that the drought we’ve been in is easing.
My kitties! They know all about simple, sensual magic! I love the sound of their purring when I stroke them, and the feel of their soft fur, and the way they snuggle next to, or on top of me when I get into bed. I know I list them here nearly every time, and it’s because they are such a blessing to me!
My 8yo son who loves to start the day with snuggles! Lots of snuggles!
Green! Everywhere I look outside there is bright spring green, and it seems greener after each rainfall!
Easy travel weather predicted for tomorrow when I’ll be driving for hours, and sunshine and warm temps predicted for my brother’s wedding!
Finding ways to make this weekend work for everyone concerned… including me!
Homemade kefir, plain or in smoothies. It fuels my life.
Finding a pair of dressy sandals (which I need for the wedding) at the consignment shop yesterday… and they were 20% off!
Taking a moment to breathe and be present and enjoy the simple things can be deeply nourishing. I hope you will notice the many small pleasures in your day today and share them here with all of us! Feel free to share big or complicated magic, too, of course: we enjoy hearing about it all!
