Perfect Moment Monday: Here and Now

Perfect Moment Monday is about noticing a perfect moment rather than creating one. Perfect moments can be momentous or ordinary or somewhere in between.

====================================

I’m driving to a yoga class after a morning of lounging in bed and drinking a cup of french-pressed coffee. The “lounging” part is important because lately, the kids have let us sleep in while they watch cartoons. We are now parenting two increasingly independent beings.

After yoga,  the rest of the day is unstructured. The weather is stunningly beautiful — a perfect 74 degrees with little wind (a big change from yesterday’s gusts). We plan to visit my Mom and Dad in the afternoon. My husband, my children and my parents, all healthy and all together.

I am happy.

This time of day, this time of week, this time of year. Here, in the place where I am fortunate to live. The new-green landscape holds so much promise.

These are not my beautiful horses. But this is my beautiful scenery on the way to yoga class.

Later I tread our lawn in my bare feet, my toes seeing the sunlight for the first time in a long winter, my soles absorbing all that lushness, that promise.
