OOoooh the Chill
Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to present to you the wonderful, the marvelous, the ever-so-chilly first cold morning of the year here in Texas!! S'wonderful..S'marvelous...
So why am I sitting outside, typing? Well, I just love cold weather. Every October, I get this extreme urge to hop on a plane and visit New York City, but no. I am in a place so opposite from NYC that I can't even imagine the big city right now. It's peaceful here in the countryside in Texas, just outside of Austin. A storm came in late yesterday afternoon, the sun still shone, the leaves, orange in color, drifted - no, more like fled - from the trees at a sideways slant while a small, but lovely, amount of rain fell upon the winter rye seeds on the lawn. Stop. And. Smell. The. Rain.
Have you taken a moment from your day to witness the beauty? Have you stopped and taken a moment to witness a plastic grocery bag fluttering in the wind? What a movie.
Life feels as if it is indeed as fast as a movie, especially the older we get, especially with the advent of more and more technology, especially in the last few days of an election that could quite possibly shape a future in such a way we haven't seen since the 60's. I wasn't even here for the 60's, but it is an iconic era, a decade full of unrest and war and nasty politics. Sound familiar?
I feel relieved. I early-voted and chose a man I believe in whole-heartedly, Barack Obama.
But I don't intend on blogging today about politics or money or anything in particular. There is really no intent, no plot, no subject matter in this blog. I just wanted to say hello and to remind to you take a moment today, each day, to breathe and feel your blessings. Hear the music. Dance dance dance to your favorite dream and keep love alive in your life.
Oh, one last thing that has little segue to my above chit-chat, except for maybe the fact that your home should reflect your love of self, love of community, and love of feeling safe and comfortable in your abode. Check out this designer: http://www.janereece.com
Hoping all is beautiful and well for you all. I hope to hear from you. Tell me how beautiful you are.
Love, Ginger Leigh
