• feeling the days i am in.  therefore, smelling the nature world around me,  the coffee in the morning, the cool night air that seeps through the shudders, and the freshly laundered towels. listening to the wind chimes, the ducks quack, the birds sing, the lawnmower mow, the washing machine churn, my breath in my chest. tasting the food we make and slowing down to enjoy it.  trying new things.  thinking about what i read, and what i say.  giving myself time to decide.  listening to a song and knowing what it means.  writing what i feel and what is true and not what is contrived or forced.  not speeding to get somewhere but taking my time and enjoying the everyday scenery. letting penny sniff more grass instead of impatiently tugging her along, napping on the living room couch, doing nothing else while watching a movie, smile and not get irritated by the small things, those things that don't really matter anyway.  taking more pictures and being less critical for a variety of reasons.  simply being.  less doing.
