What is Good? (Day 2)

{ The Good Life } 3.8.21

Mornings have become a sacred space for me. I am able to slip out of bed, start boiling water for coffee and then dive deep into myself. Today is one of those days where the air feels crisp and the sun light is starting to creep through our windows. I am happy. Boris is snoring. Natasha is peaking out from under the fire places. The world is calm for a second.

What is Good? 3.8.21

1. Boris and Natasha. My pug has a best friend its is a Russian tortoise that lives under our fireplace. Their relationship is silent but always present. At the moment Natasha is splayed out underneath the stove observing and watching over Boris as he sleeps through the beginning of the morning. They are both wise beyond their years. They both know what they want and how to get it. They both are personable and kind. On a day when the fire is roaring Natasha will creep out from underneath the fire place and dig into Boris's bed. They will snooze the day away until it is time to eat. The peace that I witness through them lightens my heart.

2. Giving my time to those I love. Today I was a able to give time of my dearest friends. I was able be present with them and celebrate them. This last year has made me really appreciate any amount of time I get to spend with my loved ones.

3. I am doing the work. I am in the mud doing the work. I know that the field I plow and seed now will bring crops come summer. I know that the time I spend healing and diving into myself will bring to the surface my highest self.

4. I had a personal record. At the gym I was able to deadlift the heaviest amount that I have ever been able to do.

5. I have taken ownership of my mornings. I have seized the moment and am becoming the leading role of my life.

I started writing this early and finished late. I liked how today evolved. It slowly filled itself and I was there for it. I am proud of all of the accomplishments of the day. This week is a big week for me and I feel the winds of spring lifting me to new places. Here is to life and how it grows and blossoms and dies.

Keep living { The Good Life }
