A New Rhythm Of Life

Things are different for me these days now that my life has taken on a different rhythm. I am enjoying the newness of it and thought I'd share a bit of my day. I have so much to do! I usually get up and pet King's big head. He whines back at me, whimpering his loving devotion. I wonder what my day will bring. I make a cup of coffee and sit a while to clear my head. The caffiene does its work and I begin to feel more optimistic. I wonder what I will make of my day. I go to the bathroom. It doesn't take long. I remember that I haven't fed the dog. I feed the dog. I let the dog out and he goes to the bathroom. It doesn't take him long either. Then I remember that I haven't fed myself. I feed myself. I actually clean the dishes and put them away. I get dressed in my barn clothes to check on the horses. I clean out the stalls. I take off my boots and make more coffee. I usually then will read the news online, I go to IHT.com or ask.com news. I sometimes read local news. Then I check my emails and usually my box is full. Macy's has a sale, Target, ProFlowers wonders why I left them and they apologize for their mistakes and want me back. Nordstrom even writes, but I don't reply because I can't afford anything there anyway. I then make my to do list. I am making calls promoting my business, meeting with people I like. I live on hope and dreams, faith until something appears. I clean the kitchen. I wash clothes, I fold them. I haven't made my bed in 10 years. I make my bed and fluff a pillow or two. I pick up after myself. Put my shoes away and even hang up my clothes instead of throwing them over the bathtub. I am concerned with domestic things and it feels I'm becoming acquainted again with a long-time friend. (where did that slob go who used to live here?)

I'm enjoying my days, the different routine. The slow pace. The God pace. The knowing I am in the right place pace. The peace of knowing that God is in control. I am surprised at how well I am holding up. Going from intense 60 hour days to not having a job, let along a set routine... it should be harder, but there's a sustaining peace. It's a God thing. Each day is new. I wait for what it brings and have so far been delighted. Who knew?
