Tuesday A Taste of Flava

I’m sitting at my desk an hour before I start work. Today my body is feeling much better. I had a rough stretch of days, but now, or at least for this moment, things have settled down.

Today I’m able to see the beautiful life outside my tower window.

A squirrel is making its way across the wires. Birds are perched in the cedar tree. The sky is bright blue, and for the first time in several days, I’m noticing something besides my discomfort.

It’s nice to have something else to focus on besides body pain. It’s a reminder that during my painful moments, if I choose, there is beauty right in front of me that can take my focus away from my discomforts.

Have you ever realized how many wonderful experiences we miss because we are so focused on the pain, frustration, or negativity we are experiencing?

Yesterday, I had to close the blinds and lay flat with my eyes closed to calm my pain down. I’m sure I missed some of the early morning activity outside my tower window.

Yesterday, I also had to call off work. I have no regrets. High temperatures in Seattle are simply not my friend.

Today is different.

Today I’m enjoying the view.

Happy Tuesday!

The temperature is much more doable today in Seattle. How about where you are?
