Right Now

Right now, at this time of year, I'm all over the place.  In a good way.  My internal rhythm says it's time to shift, to slow down and snuggle in for the season to come.  Yet the refreshing breeze, warm golden sunshine, and long evening shadows invigorate me with a renewed energy.  This list, inspired by Che and Fidel, sums up life right now...

needing: snow boots
playing: tag in the dark
wishing: the pears would all fall from the tree
enjoying: spending an evening with friends
waiting: for our building permits to be approved
liking: night walks
loving: late night conversations
knitting: a new sweater design
hoping: to begin building soon
seeing: what it's like from an 8 year old's perspective
smelling: fresh cut grass
wearing: tank tops in September
following: my intuition and going with the flow
noticing: Luke is so grown up lately.
bookmarking: Simple Shoemaking
reading: various stories by HG Wells
watching: shooting stars
dreaming: of a wood stove

feeling: grateful
