Halcyon Day


Have you ever noticed how some days seem to have their own personalities -- as in, some seem out to destroy your peace and happiness at any cost while others, no matter what happens, still are lovely, mellow and sweet?  

It doesn't matter where you are; you can have a difficult day at home and a peaceful one at work, or vice versa, but sometimes it almost seems like you are just a part of that particular day's personality, instead of the day just reflecting off your own mood.

Today, for example, has been a halcyon day.  The temperatures are in the '70's, clear with a light, gentle breeze, my war with the pests in the fields seems to have come to a temporary truce with the addition of some diatomaceous earth out there, and everything outside is green and growing.  The laundry's up and drying as we speak.  I have everything on hand to make a delicious pizza for dinner. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket and see if my luck holds.

Days like this, where nature, time and luck are all willing and able to help grease the wheels to make everything a little more peaceful and lovely, are too rare on this earth.  We've had some cruel days this spring, but today is not one of them, and if I celebrate nothing else today, I will sit outside in the sunshine as the trees sway gently in the breeze, and celebrate that.

  1. Sounds like a bucolic paradise! I'm glad to read that after being abused by wind, ravaged by pests, and physical pain you had such a lovely day!!

    1. You are right, looking back I see it was kind of a short stretch of tough breaks there. Guess it's true that the sun always comes out after the storm!
