Today I’m on the deck soaking in the Autumn sun. Perched on 2 of the old deck chairs capturing as much sun as possible… closing my eyes and raising my face to let it wash over me. With just the slightest breeze and the sounds of the dead leaves falling from our big tree. Barking dogs every once in a while chime in as the birds sing. It’s soothing (like a hot water bottle to the joints) to my stiff and sore body… I slept hard last night. Probably harder than I’ve slept in a couple weeks.

I’m trying to relish this moment as I know cold will eventually grace us and stay… hopefully with lots of moisture. Last week I talked of snow and now it’s long gone and with no moisture in the forecast I know have a few more days to take in this warmth. But for now, in this moment I’ll pretend it’s my last warm day… something about making that mind shift makes me appreciate it more… appreciate each day. Love each moment.

So with that… Happy First Cups
