It’s is interesting to look at what we think we deserve in life….I had the longest debate with myself this morning on whether or not I should light my fire so carefully set up in my fireplace. I thought about how long it had taken me to bring in the logs, set up the fire, add the kindling, and so on. I went over in my mind how long a period of time I had to spend in my day in front of the fire. How much time spent in front of the fire would make it worthwhile. Would I worry about leaving the house later on for errands with the fire embers still burning?I thought about how casy it would be with the fire going. The small but bright fireplace warming the room and making it a nice spot for Sunday morning newspaper reading. My small dog curled up against my thigh enjoying the warmth as well as the leftover bacon grease on my hand.. Do you wonder if I lit the fire? The good news is that I did. It still burns, there is still a black squirrel outside my window hiding some treats for winter, it is still morning in Connecticut and I am happy.

Now I read about my fire starting decision and smile.. I am greatful to have wood to make the fire. If I remember to start each day with an open heart and the knowledge the world will provide me with whatever I need or ask for then I have a good day. I am content to be doing what I am doing in my life and to remind myself to stop and watch the clouds move.
