Wind chimes in the morning and wind chimes in the night breezes.
The weather has cooled here, a welcome end of summer break from triple digits, for this week at least. I opened the bedroom window for the first time in many weeks and was greeted by the cool night air. I sleep so much better when it is cooler and not air conditioned cool.
Crawling into bed I heard the distant sound of a memory faintly coming back to rest in my heart. It was the sound of the wind chimes hanging in the Cottonwood tree thanks to my friend Diane. She helped me bring a piece of home to this place where I live. It has been six years plus since I have enjoyed a lullaby from the chimes.
I woke up the next morning, window still open, me under an extra light blanket on top of the sheet that I usually sleep under. The night air had cooled the room, and I did not want to get up. I wanted to snuggle beneath the covers and inhale the scents and sounds of this new day.
The sweet sound of steel pipes bouncing off a wooden disk joined the early voices of the birds and a distant rooster. A joyful chorus to waken the day and me.
Short and sweet this week.
Have a great day everybody and if it isn’t – CHANGE IT! You have the power to write your own story. Give yourself permission to tear out the pages that no longer tell your truth today and write the authentic you into your story. #YouMatter
May the morning bless you with the sweet songs of awakening and the evening chorus send you off with sweet dreams.
