Soul Enriching

Every once in a while I take a day and just take it as it comes. I don't plan much. I just keep moving slowly and pleasantly doing what I want as I want it.

I find these days very therapeutic and wish every day could be as soul enriching.

I got up around 8:30 and laid in bed until 9. I grabbed a book and cup of tea to go sit on the back porch to read a book about someone traveling the world. Eventually I finished and did a 10 minute meditation...just calming. I decided to then start some laundry and actually get dressed. Fixed my bike that was all messed up due to someone the wrong size riding it. Took a bike ride to get some sushi. Sat outside, ate the sushi, continued the book, had pleasant conversation with a few people, and then rode my bike to my office.

My mind feels good. My body feels good and still tingling from the movement of the bike. My stomach feels refreshed with healthy food (which lately I have not been treating it to anything but grease and fat).

It is a day where I don't try to be something I am not. I am not trying to meet all the deadlines or solve my internal insecurities. Life is simple. No electric car...nature at its best. Honest work to just live. Accepting me as I am...moving with the rhythm of life. Yet still, I am getting a good amount of things done.

Wouldn't it be nice if I could slow down enough to be aware of and enjoy life in such a manner as this every day?
