rekindling my magic

I tend to write when I’m sad.
Well, today is not that kind of day!
A thoughtful and well-timed package came from a lifelong friend. Pillow was indeed my best friend last week. How did you know…?
I worked from home after a half day conference.
I saw my coach, and she recommended a book that every woman should read.
I had an awesome upper body workout… a few weeks or months away from doing a real pull up without weight assistance.
I got the recommended book!
“Women who run with the wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I couldn’t wait to rip into the pages after seeing Maya Angelou’s recommendation on the front page: “Everyone who can read should read this book” I read up to 55 pages until I couldn’t hold my pee in anymore.
I just happened to walk across a book (Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern) that I had been searching for but had forgotten about. I will be gifting it to a very special person to enjoy while on a beach holiday. (Isn’t it funny how we find the things we lost when we’re not looking?)
I received a kind compliment on my outfit! Thanks Beast!
Too many exclamation marks, I know. I could probably contain myself but I won’t because I don’t want to.

I found myself surrounded by books, books, and more books. It is the closet thing to my heaven. It’s just one of those blissful days full of life’s small reminders to be grateful to be alive.

My magic is alive and well. Now, let’s keep it that way before the next cycle.
