It's A Beautiful Mystery

I have had a small surge of energy lately. There are probably more possibilities about why this could be than there is extra energy, so I am not going to dissect it. I am simply going to allow my world to benefit from it.

I am nesting! I haven't done this for a very long time and it makes me feel young -- very young and I like that. I bought a mop type thing and cleaned the hard floors, reorganized my closet, redesigned the window treatment for my bedroom and then put it all together and put it up.

I hung a hummingbird feeder and already have several hummingbirds coming. I mowed the yard and pulled some extra weeds. I am working on my painting and am also trying to match the paint on my living room walls that someone, in a fit of thoughtful, but insane, goodwill, patched in over thirty little white places.

I scrubbed the bathtub from top to bottom and brushed both my little shih-tzus from head to tail.

I cannot say that I physically feel any better than I have for several years. My joints are still creaky and I can only lift my left arm to a certain point, but it hasn't seemed so over-whelming the past few days and I love this! I have not felt so mentally good since I cannot remember when. Color my world clear! It feels as if someone erased all the gloom from the picture, or maybe even painted in a new set of clouds and sky. This one based around a child's version of a big round sun with rays pointing out in every direction.

Oh, and in celebration of her first week with me, Annie informed me that her name is Gabrielle.
