It's A Perfect Day
Written by Carol Guy
Today I wake up at 6:00 AM and headed to the gym. I took my dog Michael with me because the gym is in a park. I thought we could run first. It was so beautiful outside. The air was cool and fresh. The park was full on runners, walkers,bikers and dogs. It was nice to see so many people out enjoying nature and taking care of themselves. It is very common here in Denver but I was enjoying it all the same.
Michael and I had a great run then he waited in the car for me while I worked out. It was cool enough for him to do so and I was grateful. I don’t normally take him due to the weather. I had a great workout then decided to take Michael for a walk around the lake and meditate. The weather was so “perfect” I just wanted to enjoy it. We have been having 90-100 degree weather so today was perfect.
As I mediated all I could think about was “It Was A Perfect Day” I was enjoying the gift of a cool fresh day, taking care of my body and Michael’s, and taking care of my spirit of meditating and connecting with nature. I couldn’t think of a bette r way to start the day. It was a blessing to enjoy this great gift that was being given. I even started singing to myself “It’s a perfect day.” n
All day seem to be just that. I took my time to enjoy the day. It stayed cool outside with a few clouds but I was like a kid enjoying every moment of the day. During the middle of the day something flowed in that wanted to steal my perfect day from me but I stopped it in it’s tracks. It was something that I had to change my thinking about. I made a choose to say “no and continue having a perfect day.
It even rained today. It was a real rain. The kind that pours from the heavens and everyone is running or waiting. I was so excited I called my mother in the midwest just to tell her. We hadn’t had rain all summer and not much in the spring. It was the perfect day for me and I felt like a kid running in the rain.
We all are blessed with perfect days. Some seems better then others at times. I didn’t have a big firework experiences today but it was the little things that made it perfect. The cool air, the getting up and moving, taking care of myself and my dog, connecting with nature, cleaning my car, answering emails, writing, checking out websites, arranging my calendar for the month, eating healthy, reading at the park with a picnic lunch for Michael and I, and yes, playing in the rain.
When you really take the time to just be with your day, it is the little things that make it the perfect day. Tomorrow and this week, see if you can find your perfect day. Take the time to make all of your days perfect or find something great that you can make perfect just by being with it.
