Life is Good

Once in a while an awakening is absolutely heavenly.  This morning was one of those.  I slept with my window open beside my bed and when I pulled up the shade I watched a chickadee building her nest in one of the rafters of the porch and listened to two frogs conversing while I watched the sunlight spread across the Pond as it rose higher from behind the trees.  As you can imagine, my morning meditation was good.  Speaking of that, last evening we ended our yoga class with some breathing practice (pranayama) and a meditation session listening to a Robert Gass CD of monks chanting Om.  It doesn't get any better than that.  The day was good too - finally cleaned out my small herb/veggie bed and planted a basil plant and two bell peppers.  Love getting my hands in the earth.  Life doesn't get any better than this!
