Sunday. It is good to have a day of rest and revel in the accomplishments of a busy week, a day to reflect on what has had meaning in the preceding days. Yet I want to live in the present moment and appreciate all it has to offer. I want to take pleasure in what is now, because—really—now is all we have. Life is in the little things that fill every moment. A few minutes ago, I was preparing a chef’s salad for our light supper and boiled a few eggs to add to the top. I had gathered veggies from our garden, everything fresh and crisp. I got the egg slicer out of the cupboard, peeled the eggs and sliced them. I feel a little silly describing the pleasure I got from seeing those perfect little slices, but it almost brought tears to my eyes. I feel the same when I gaze on flowers and wonder at their beauty. It’s good to be simple and have unassuming things of life bring me satisfaction and fulfillment.
