Two for one

I chose to have my kitchen, bedroom and deck on the east side of my house when it was constructed because they are the three areas where the most time is spent.  It paid off.  The sun was streaming through the kitchen patio door today.  Instead of grabbing my coffee and heading to the computer room, I moved my kitchen chair so I could sit in the sun and enjoy the warmth.  The sun shining through a window is a mood 'booster'.

My empty mug signaled that I'd better get some chores done.  I made it as far as my bedroom.  When I rounded the corner, the walls were adorned with rainbows.  They were breathtaking and a wonderful surprise.  
 
I have a crystal hanging in the bedroom window.  As the sun came up this morning, the light was broken into its many colors and was reflected onto the walls. What a beautiful sight. 

I took a class many years ago that taught the importance of surrounding yourself with meaningful things; things that make you happy; things that bring you peace.  That crystal in the sunshine brings me peace.



I have to admit that there is one job left on the to-do list because I chose to make a second cup of coffee to enjoy while I watched my rainbows until they disappeared.  

There was something enlightening and spirit lifting when the sun shone through the window today.  It was a 'two for one' day; sunshine and rainbows. Bonus.  I needed that since I should have been sending off a January 28 birthday email to a good friend.  I lost that good friend in November.  Maybe the rainbows were a sign that my thought message was delivered.
