The Front Porch

What a beautiful morning it is today!! This has to be my best day in Port Barre yet....we are living with Troy's mom while we finish restoring our RV. Troy's mom's name is Dell and she rocks!! Today I have the house all to myself as Dell is at the beach and Troy is seeing about our Truck. Yes, the huge F250 we traded in our Jeep for so we could pull the RV (you've got to see me drive this thing)!

Anyway, back to the morning...I baked! Yes, mom, I baked blackberry biscuits. Okay, they look like cookies, but they have chocolate chips in them so it makes the burnt taste go away. Yum Yum, give me some!!!

I'm in my panties on the screen porch and the house is a complete mess. Shit is scattered everywhere and on this very morning I decided that I love it (the shit scattered everywhere I mean). Funny, I did not realize I liked leaving my underwear on the floor until I couldn't do it anymore...you know, living with Ms. Dell and all.

But today is a good day not only because I left my drawers on the floor and now sitting on the screen porch half naked just because I can. No, today is a good day because I am reminded that changing my life means changing me. I realize that living life by design doesn't always mean having a plan or sticking to one for that matter. Today is about saying, fuck my plan and "to do" list for the day. I am going to sit my happy ass on this swing, eat my blackberry and chocolate biscuits or cookies or whatever I made and play some music and write. I am going to remain calm about all the stuff I need to do and hopefully, all around me will remain calm. Today is happy because because today is all I have.

A little prayer to take with you...I wrote it myself:
Thank you God/Universe/Whatever you like to give thanks to for this morning. I needed this space just as each needs his. Thank you for helping me honor myself by slowing down and knowing that this swing, in my panties, is all I'm required to do today. Thank you for showing me the meaning of today.

Love,

Kelli


Have a beautiful day everyone!!
