Here I am again at my keyboard, still tapping, looking for words, thoughts, wisdom. I’m not 100% successful being present. I do my best, always feeling better for my efforts. That is the reason I keep coming back and coming back. I know a good thing by the way I feel. It’s hard to be 100%. Don’t we know it! Even when they predict 100% chance of rain, it doesn’t happen. So I don’t give myself a hard time when I lapse. I get back as soon as I can.

I enjoy the feel of the keys beneath my fingertips. I like watching the letters march across the screen. I’m euphoric when the thoughts and words fly and flow from my fingertips as if writing themselves. Long deep sighs of contentment escape from me. Life feels beautiful then, no matter the weather outside. I’m in my own garden of Eden then.

The weather app says it is drizzling but not here yet.There’s 85% chance of rain at 12 noon, in 15 minutes. We shall see. The sky is grey. I’m feeling good. Been to the gym though didn’t work out that hard but something is better than nothing, right?

It is evening now. It did not rain at noon but we did some lightning, thunder and rain in late,late afternoon. It was glorious. I quite enjoyed it all. The sky was very dark. I had to turn on the lights in the sunroom to read. I felt very safe and cosy, curled up with a book. One must read to write.
