Sunday Night and All's Right...

Yes, it's late in the weekend and a few too many days since I last posted on the blog. High time, no doubt.
A weekend spent chasing kids around sporting events, digging and planting in the garden, jogging, eating and sleeping. Quite nice really. So, what gem did I find as my "take away" this time.
A great couple of days, simple, busy and enjoyable. Perhaps we have heard it all before but there is wonderful value in taking each day as it comes, making the most out of it, enjoying the day to the greatest extent possible, and reflecting in its perfectness. With so much news of terrorism, drought and flood, crime and misery, I feel a strong desire to simply rejoice in the passage of a few good days.
A late afternoon jog through the hill tops and ridges, foggy and cold with a misty rain falling down was a wonderful way to conclude the day. How lovely it was to return down from the hills, tired and wet with heart pounding, to see a gentle plume of smoke coming from our chimney and to smell the delicious odor of a pot of soup on the stove.
Yes, I do feel lucky and I must remind myself this constantly as I tend to forget...I think we all forget our good fortune and focus on the small, negative things.
Yes, we are lucky.
Have a GREAT day,
Lucky Phil
