A Lovely Weekend

Generally when my calendar looks like it did this weekend I get pretty stressed about being away from home and not getting anything done. Even when it's parties and fun stuff I feel like I should be working instead. There has been a shift in my world recently. I have been having FUN. I haven't been in charge. I have been going out and singing and laughing and dancing and sharing. Wow.

It feels frivolous. It feels rebellious. And it feels really good. I think I may keep doing it.

Got up this morning, made a coffee cake and served it with fresh cantaloupe and some great chunky spiced apples from Trader Joes. Sat at the table and read the paper. On a Sunday. And didn't feel guilty at all....giddy maybe.....but not guilty. Ahhh. Relaxation Pose for breakfast.

Friday night was beautiful. True Spirit Group. Laid on our backs on the sand by the bay and gazed up at the stars. Bonus: had a real astronomer tell us what we were looking at. Saw the moon through a telescope with all it's craters and colors. There was 15 of us from all different walks of life (including canine) and it was one of the most relaxing evenings I've spent in a long, long time. Ahhh. Relaxation Pose on the Beach.

Saturday. Busy, unplanned, went from one reality to another and then back again. Had a great time anyway. Ahhh Celtic Relaxation Pose.

Perpetual Vacation. That's the life to have. Work when you need to and find the joy in it. Play when you want to and find the joy in that too. How did I get so removed from that for so long?

Clarity Pose. Love it.
