three good things

As part of a self-guided retreat that I began a few days ago  (which I hope to write more on soon), I spend some time at the end of each day to reflect on three of the high points from the day.  It's a simple exercise, doesn't take much time or effort, and is kind of a nice way to draw the evening to a close.

Today's Good Things ~

1.  Meditation this morning was wonderful.   We did a Mindfulness practice, and it stretched me a bit beyond my usual comfort zone.   It was great to see everyone again;  I continue to marvel at how bonded I feel to these people who - just a month ago - were strangers to me.   I am *so* grateful.
2. A most delicious post-meditation half-caf Americano at Starbucks and the luxury of an hour alone with my thoughts, my journal & what is becoming a very absorbing novel.
3. THE best raspberries I've had in my life.  Well, except for maybe those freshly-picked from my Grandma's garden when I was growing up.   Kroger had a special on Organic Raspberries, and they are beyond good.  I think tomorrow will see me returning to pick up another pint (or four).  

There!  That didn't take but 5 minutes.   The best thing?  I could have gone on and on.  It was a great day.
