Today something delicious
will happen!
I tend to notice my attitude
when I make this declaration while lying in bed each morning. Even when the
warmed coffee cup tips and splays mocha across the countertop and drips down
onto the clean kitchen floor, my reaction is less fury and more acceptance. The
ceramic bird I got in the PNW chipped as I removed my winter coat from the
luggage and it fell six inches to the floor. Had it safe and sound, in my room,
miles away from where I bought it, only to be damaged while unpacking it.
Again, I resign to the assurance that it is just “stuff” and I move on,
considering how I can glue the dust particles to the tail feathers and make it
indiscernible to the aged eye.
Do I view people, places,
circumstances as “delicious” since I warble my mantra each day? Or would those
things have occurred regardless. The yellow leaves falling from the trees,
scooped by the wind to swirl in front of me as I walk the safe streets in my
neighborhood. I drive leisurely to my appointments, leaving the house on-time,
preparing meals in advance so I am not gobbling in hast and low blood sugar,
sending out a letter or postcard daily, to reach out to friends and family,
lying on the floor with the dog, to stroke him and massage his muscles while
checking for ticks, playing fetch with the cat and reading a chapter or two
from my latest book.
I encourage you to say aloud,
with conviction, what kind of day you want to have…luscious, dreamy, playful,
tender, healthy, prosperous or delicious!
