Embracing the moment

We have a birds nest, in the rafters on the half roof, over our patio. Today my daughter and I were washing down the patio. We also have a 6 foot high wood fence, that surrounds the patio; on which we have plants sitting on the top of. Today we had two visitors, hanging around one of the plants, on the fence; as we were in their path to the nest. Beautiful, partially blue birds.

Pure bliss

I was sitting in the tub, with the hot shower raining on me. My mind still going in every direction. After 15 minutes or so, my mind slowed down, my eyes shut. I sat there for over a hour, my mind now a comatose mush. My body relaxed so much that I didn't want to emerge, from the warm cocoon. When I did get up, I turned the shower on as cool as I could take it. One of those ah ha moments, when life can't get any better.
