Maybe a better term would be BLESSED, I feel totally blessed!
Waking up to the nibbles on my chin of my kitten, quiet all around the house, brewing a pot of coffee in the early morning silence in a nice, big kitchen. Then slipping back to my room to read emails, catch up on news and listen to music on my PC. Enjoying a phone call with my youngest brother before his day got underway at the fire house.
Discovering that the sun is shining outside, the breeze is outstanding and the humidity is gone from the air. Windows are all open and the warm breeze is blowing on me as I sit here typing. Trees swaying in the gentle wind, flags flying, birds singing and laughter of children playing outside.
The view out of my window of this gorgeous day reminds me of why I wanted a corner desk by the window so I could look out on the world.
The smell of goetta and waffles drifting up to my room as my sister is making brunch for the Divas, mixed with the smell of another fresh pot of coffee is making my stomach grumble, I can almost taste it already.
My room is dusted and vacuumed and laundry is all finished for the weekend, so it is a day of total relaxation before going back to the office tomorrow.
My family is all alive and well, and only a text, email or phone call away if they are not one of those living in the Princess Palace.
Sometimes I just love sitting here enjoying the blessings I have, I am SO lucky!
