A good day is one with a hug...
One where a smile sits on my lips...
But not in a way that denies the dangers lurking, lingering around me and the world.
A good day is one where I can cry with someone who needs to cry.
Good and happiness need not always be interchangeable or even compatible.
A good day starts with a cup of coffee, steam slowly rising reminding me of a savory pace.
A good day starts with a walk truly seeing the different shades of green in the palm leaves.
A good day continues with my family. Doesn't matter where or what...just being together.
A good day means a good lunch. Maybe a peanut butter sandwich that sticks to the roof of my mouth and takes me back to my youth.
A good day means something fun in the afternoon. But then as my inner two year old cries out for a nap...I listen!! I slow down to stop doing and simply be.
Maybe I will even write a silly post for this blog that maybe somehow in someway gets your mind, heart, and soul stirring!!
A good day means a good dinner. Tonight is pizza and ice cream night at our house...a holy tradition. That is a good dinner. Or chilly on a cold day. Or a hamburger on a hot day. It really isn't about the food anyway.
A good day means nestling close to the one I said, "forever" to. It means letting her smell awaken my senses. It means hearing her voice and feeling her touch. That is a good day.
A good day...because it doesn't just have to be one.
Grace and peace ~~
