Today's Potential

a photo i took in Wicklow county, on the east coast of Ireland, sometimes known as "the garden of Ireland"

I'm up early again today, still lying in my warm bed under a giant duvet and contemplating the possibilities that today has to offer. Before I fell asleep last night I was perusing and feeling inspired by Design for Mankind's Dailies Series. I was really vibing on this one with Sandra Juto: I love her eye and the sense of playfulness in the photos, I think I've also been paying a lot more attention to illustrators, because I've been thinking a lot lately about wanting to move more of my time back in that direction. I have several big projects I need complete before I can do that, but I'm patient, and the other things I'm working on are worthwhile and fulfilling too.

Still, I like to talk about what I'm dreaming for the future. When I was reading Sandra's "daily" I was thinking about how I would like to live my whole life more in the way this post spoke to me, where as much as possible, each moment is significant, where you take the time to notice the beauty around you (even and especially in the mundane), where there is focused time spent in engaging in the activities that actualize your dreams.

Today here is what I dream:

1. a hot cup of tea and a steamy shower
2. clothes which grace my skin and exude comfort
3. music that rocks my soul
4. continue the very enjoyable logical problem solving experience that is the drafting and construction of K's dress
   
5. make a fantastic raw beet salad for lunch and attempt to eat it slowly and really taste everything (i am notorious for inhaling my food)
   
6. spend 10-15 minutes at some point today in silent meditation (phone and comp switched off!), noticing/observing my thoughts, getting back in touch with the core of my being
7. tomato soup and grilled sandwiches made by the love of my life (he makes the most delicious toasted sandwiches EVER) for dinner.
8. a few hours at the Stitch and B!tch group this evening
9. and finally a return to what began this lovely morning, a warm duvet and nuzzles and eskimo kisses...
