Quiet Day at Home: Time for Reflection

Canada won. Great game. Great effort USA. Never say die attitude. Love it. Closing ceremony now in a few hours. Looks like the Lakers will win this game. 13 seconds left and they are ahead by 6 points. Carmello fouled out and Kobe s on the free throw line. Whew. Tough game throughout. Both games.

Got word from an old friend. He accepted my Facebook friend request. It was a much welcome surprise. Thought I was ignored. It is good to know he’s alive. Hopefully, he's well. That’s all I will say about that. Important games. Important friends. Important times. 

Jumped in the pool again. Brisk. Freezing. Yeah, all that. So what now? Well, it has been a great time. Went to church early this morning. Sun was shining on me during the service. It felt nice. It felt right.

March is in 8 hours and 48 minutes. Going to do my month in review. Read part of my March Astrologyzone review. Just showed the goalie for the USA. Not happy, but he should be proud. All of the USA Hockey should be proud for the gallant effort. Tying the game with 24 seconds left. So close, yet, no shame.  The rain falls on the just and unjust. It was 3 to 2 Canada for Olympic gold.

Where do we go from here? Laundry needs to be finished. Dishes need to be washed. Taxes need to be done. Diet Log needs to be updated. Exercise logs, too. Books needs to be read. Time line needs to be completed.

Its been two months since the new year started.  Prece has been solid with her beam. Lynn's working on her Chumash project. Master Yoda shares his food with me. He like Brown Sugar and Maple oatmeal. He loves Star Wars. Makes me laugh. Chris went to visit Tatay. Thought about that in church. Just sitting at home relaxing. Just a day. A great day.

Where’s the journey? Where’s the lesson learned? Where’s moral of the story? Can’t say there is much in this post. It’s just a wonderful day. House is quiet, except for the kids outside playing. That is a welcome sound. Just the sound of laughter and smiles. Just the sound of birds chirping and happiness all around. Just the beautiful sun-shining day just breathes happiness.

Guess, too often we hear the troubles and angst of the daily going-ons.  Another quake hit Chile. 8.8—That was a big one. It was larger than the 1994 Northridge quake. That one brought down the 5 freeway overpass. Tsunami hit China. Warnings were for Japan, Philippines, Hawaii, California. Haiti Quake was in January. I heard there was an earthquake in Japan, too. 

When one has a day like this, it gives one pause and time of reflections of just being happy. In any story being told, one expects struggle. One expects strife. One expects drama. Yet, when I have a day like this, a do nothing day. No worries. No stress. No nothing. I tend to just savor it because for many, a blissful day like today, seems too few and far between.

Well, its 3:27 now and the sun will be setting in 3 hours and some change. Right now I just want to soak up the sun. I hope you have a chance to do the same.
