Celebrate the Small Stuff

Celebrate the Small Stuff
Dorcas Annette Walker

-Today I got a shower. Once more I feel like a civilized human.
- I brushed my teeth. Joys!
- I didn’t have enough energy to get dressed, but at least I have on a new pair of PJ’s.
- I was able to check my emails that have been piling up like fallen leaves in autumn.
- After resting a bit in my recliner, I hung up a load of wash outside and breathed in the fresh air.
- Then I rocked a spell on my front porch and watched the tiny hummingbirds and Lucy Lou race madly about in the sunshine. What bliss!
- After lunch, I brushed my cats enjoying the feel of soft fur under my fingers and listened to them purr back to me.
- I filled up the bird feeders on the porch, talked to my birds, and listened to them chattering away in the trees like a bunch of gossips. My birds are so much fun to watch though the window on days when I can’t get outdoors.
- When Dana got home I was able to stroll through my neglected flowerbeds. Each bloom was a delight to see.
- It has been a wonderful day! My pain has been managed enough where I could function in a halfway normal manner again and I’ve been able to stay awake enough to enjoy the day.
