The Cure for Anything

Good things about today:

• Iced coffee first thing in the morning
• A big bowl of ripe cantaloupe for breakfast (okay, first breakfast. I had second breakfast when I got to work.)
• The coolness that comes with wearing a dress on a hot summer day
• The Klondike bar that my boss brought me this afternoon. I haven’t eaten one of those in years. My God, was it ever delicious. I may have moaned in ecstasy once or twice while eating it.
• Heirloom tomatoes fresh from my friend’s garden. (I had them for dinner, drizzled with balsamic. Pure heaven!)
• The wise foresight that included putting a bottle of white to chill in the ‘fridge for tonight.
• The fact that Wednesday is my Thursday this week because I have a 4 day holiday weekend.
• An evening with a breeze that’s cool enough to allow me to enjoy my patio. It’s the kind of breeze that caresses your skin and makes you happy to be alive.
•  The air is scented with geraniums, basil, rosemary, and tarragon.
• A stack of good books to read.
• Having enough wisdom to know that life isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty damn good. I have enormous gratitude for all the good things in my life, and for the not-so-good things that teach me lessons and make me appreciate the good even more.
