today...
Today I let go of how I thought things would unfold and tried to just stay present amidst the grumps of a one year old.
Today I woke up almost choking on grief and missing after a dream about a house in South Carolina.
Today I called a friend just to hear her voice and I was gently held across the miles.
Today I wished for sparkly purple eyeshadow but settled for the dark blue with a few sparkles I found in the drawer even though it made me look more tired.
Today I ate two meals while standing in the kitchen.
Today I watched my daughter point to the birds in the trees when I said, "Do you see the chickadees?"
Today I watched the eighth Harry Potter movie twice (during nap time and after everyone else was in bed).
Today I dusted off the altar in the family room and rearranged it and gave it a new focus as I burned the Earth candle all afternoon.
Today I received some truly beautiful emails from my Create Space students that reminded me that this work is what I feel called to do.
Today I stood outside under the blue sky and remembered to breathe.
Today I took photos of necklaces layered on Betty and began to upload a few to the shop.
Today I stained my fingers with frozen blueberries as Ellie and I shared a bowl to help the grumps.
Today I gave myself the gift of several mugs of tea.
Today I lived in big and small ways and somehow found my way to keep my heart open to all of it.
the practice in make a list.

Just Lovely.
What a beautiful list of sacred moments throughout the day! I love this!
This is lovely, Liz, though I have to confess that I read "the eighth Harry Potter movie" and got all excited thinking that there was a movie that I somehow missed! I was both confused and hopeful, LOL.
thank you for putting fingers to keypad to express what you were experiencing throughout your day. It sure does sound like you kept your heart open through it all. It was a great reminder for me.
