An anemone

Good morning dear friends,

This is one of those days when I want nothing more than to scurry under the covers and fall back asleep. Last night, the time got away from me and I ended up reading until 3 A.M. This was totally unintended, but I guess that it says something about the book.

Anyway, I woke up with a splitting headache caused by allergies, (Just an aside, I heard that Austin, Texas was the #1 city for allergies. I wonder if that is true?) I forgot to take my pain medicine on time, so my pain level is up, and my laptop, on which just last week, I purchased a $199 extended warranty and spent 2 hours on the phone “to put it in ship shape” condition, won’t even boot up. Of course, it did so before and now I’ll have to spend a better part of the day on the phone with Apple so that they can fix the problem that they created. In any event, I still wanted to wish you Happy Monday and start to your week.

Today, this morning blessing feels even more personal since it screams to me to take heed. Today, I bring you the following blessing:

–Count my blessings.
–Practice kindness.
–Let go of what I can’t control.
–Listen to my heart.
–Be productive, but calm.
–Just breathe. ~ Unknown

Check. I am beginning to feel better already. I hope that you, like me, are reminded to begin your day with love, wonder and peace in your heart. May your day, and week, be rich with memorable experiences and filled with joy. Stay chill.
