Early morning zazen throughout which an owl hooted softly in the background. It was like music for my soul; just intoxicating.
The subsequent drive home; top down, whilst soaking in the radiant warmth and light of the Florida sunshine as well as being able to deeply feel the nourishment of Vitamin D it provides.
Owning a vehicle with a manual transmission because when I operate it, I feel "at one" with the entire driving experience. That, to me, makes all of my travels - even the dreaded commute to and from work - incredibly relaxing and enjoyable.
An easy, late afternoon stroll to the coffeehouse for some spicy Chai tea as well as the time to truly savor it.
No obligations; just being able to really "be" where I was today with no intrusive thoughts or worries about where I was headed next.
The short ride I've decided to take in approximately 15 minutes so I can sit beside the ocean for an hour or so.
And finally, at the close of the evening I will derive joy from climbing into a freshly made bed piled high with crisp, white linens. It's warm out now, but not hot, and so I like to open my bedroom windows, slip out of my clothes; and, draped in only the top and bottom sheets, let the cool, gentle breeze lull me to sleep.
Life is good!
