Lockdown 635

Lockdown Day 635- 21 December 2021

Today was town day. First, we had a couple of errands to tend to , after which Mom and I took to the streets for our Christmas list.

I was surprised at how pretty the town looked and enjoyed the freshly spruced up streets and alleys dotted with restaurant tables, art work and more.

We had coffee with a view over Walker Bay whilst discussing the gift options we had seen and doing a little people watching on the side. Finishing up with our grocery list, we headed home for tea.

Talking about the silent and unseen effect the last two years had on everyone, I wondered about how we all seem to be in limbo one way or another and how there is a definite spiritual component at work in all of this.

Oprah once said, "Living in the moment means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future. It means living your life consciously, aware that each moment you breathe is a gift.”

So tonight I offer up a prayer of thanks for today's moments of joy, laughter, sadness, stillness and enjoyment. And for family moments of arguing, loving, having dinner together. For the sparkle on the ocean late afternoon, the orange hues that moment the sun sets and the rustling of the trees that moment when the wind starts blowing.
