Here comes the sun!

I can't help but notice that the older I get the longer the winter seems. This week has seen the long awaited spring/summer weather I have been waiting impatiently for. I have learned some things about myself in the last six months by living the UBBT. One of the most significant is that I love to live out doors. Being outside in the sun/rain with the mild temperatures is what makes my heart sing. I know I have put in a good days work when I need a scrub brush to get the garden dirt off my feet. My big old dog is in his glory to have company with him all day long. Because of his size he lives outside. I never had the heart to tell him he is not a lap dog. The only thing that I could add to this picture is my kids working or playing around me while I work... schools out in a week so . Good things come to those who wait.
Anyway the real lesson here is like Sifu Brinker has been saying forever is to live in the moment. Depending on the time of day I can say focused in the "NOW" either that or I find myself trying to cram as much of the days into my memory to take out and look at in the long dark winter when my heart longs for the sun.
Maybe it's time to think of living in a warmer/milder climate. If only I could bring all my family with me. Anyone up for Costa Rica.
