Flavor-rich Freedom!

Blog100:

What’s great about freedom?  Freedom that’s filled with all, anything and everything anyone can imagine, and actually reach, of course! Even better  is that I have it to enjoy with my Lord’s grace today, and I pray that I’d be deserving of many more days like today , for many more days ahead!

Imagine a day like how mine started:

… wake up time at 7AM … sip lazily a cup of coffee over newscasts of the day … chat with a sister-friend from far away Japan … imagine and sketch a sun-room/library project … watch more tree leaves fall from trees make their way there and here … choose a few chores (just a given of life!); add on to today’s experience listening to soft forgotten, nostalgic music of the 8o’s … fiddle with data saving … etcetera … etcetera!

I look around my home and survey all I have put aside because of limiting and structured times day in and day out … the last 37 years!  “It was a life filled with labor of love and tons of challenges,” I tell myself.  I look at ‘me’ in the mirror.  I realize that it told all the forgotten care I gave my face and hands.  I could not help but notice lines that have become prominent in my forehead, my neck, under my eyes.  How physically different … aged … I have become! 

I don a smile after indulging at what I saw.  Change within and change on the outside … what are they but just natural progressions capped with years of wonderful, though sometimes trying days of life’s toils and surprises?

I have no complaints today.  I am excited that today commences many more days filled with wonderful possibilities.  I could taste the future here and now, and those to come afterwards.  I feel alive with this awesome feeling about having charge over when I get up, do what I want, pick up anything I’ve postponed doing, play with lovely pets Cinn, and moody Dink.  Best of all, I am tickled by simply thinking that I really have time to enjoy the mornings, afternoons or early evenings  with wonderful Mickey – my constant cheerleader, supporter, thoughtful, full-of-surprise spouse.

With these euphoric feelings today, I could clearly see tomorrow and days after.  They foretell even grander discoveries that make me feel superbly confident!
