Moments 737: Spring is coming....I can FEEEEEEL it

There are days when you wake it's challenging to get out of bed.  You REALLY don't want to.  Maybe the day's challenges seem overwhelming, or it's simply a drab-grey day that warrants a "pull-the-covers-over-your-head" moment.

Of course, most of us don't have the luxury of heeding the desire to stay in bed.  This morning proved to be one of those days for me.  It's a grey day and I didn't get much sleep last night with my mind racing through many (MANY) variables in my life.  When I finally did succumb to sleep, it was not the good deep sleep that a gal needs.

So yes, it was hard to get out of bed this morning for me.

And then, as the sunlight grew in intensity, I could hear the faintest chirp.  It was solo, but it was a welcome sound.  I listened for some time, as the single chirp was joined by others.  A smile crept to my tired face.  Yes, that is a sound I love dearly, the morning choir of birds praising the start of a new day.  Given that there are fewer birds in the winter, it's always a welcomed moment when the choir of birds return.

Today was that day.

As I lay there in bed a moment longer than I should have, I let myself be enveloped by the sounds of chirping birds.  Sometimes it still surprises me what can inspire a moment of calm in my often chaotic world.

Moments enjoying the sound of spring arriving.
Moment knowing that I still have the ability to pause and appreciate!

Moments D627: Chaos to Calm

Today was a hectic day. Work was a buzz with many new contracts and new paths to investigate.  It's like the rest of the world awoke and they all had questioins and opportunities to be discussed.  And, of course, the year and push is on.

Ad to that the fact that today was our last day in California and by the time the end of the day rolled around it felt quite chaotic.

We had to head out and run some errands after work and we intended on grabbing dinner before 8pm.  My only request:  Mexican for dinner.

In the end, the fact that the restaurant we originally found to make that happen was terribly slow to seat us worked out to be a small favour to us because as we sat in the waiting area, we realized that we had forgotten one vital stop before we were ready to enjoy dinner.

In the end, not only did we get our errand checked off our list, we ended up closer to home in our well loved Mexican restaurant.

Sometimes a shifting chaotic swirl can create a new unique outcome.

I kinda love that.

Moments working with the chaotic energy and feeling it sort itself out.

Moments finding yourself in a familiar world because  you did "go with the flow" of energy.
