last week was kindoff cool. hubby was in sydney for 8 days with a mate. didn't watch tv. didn't go shopping ('cept for food) didn't drive the car during daylight ('cept once to take stuff to good sammies) in some ways didn't do a lot. hung out with my neighbours. sat home alone saturday night and knitted one of them a scarf. went a whole two days with out speaking to anyone. first time i think i've ever done that...

a year ago i would have planned and programmed the whole week and filled it up with all sorts of exciting activites. but this time i didn't. i just kind off waited...waited to see what would happen...and i think i found something. something slightly obscure and slightly profound.

i think i found the present moment...and i found the pure joy of living in it.

and my hope and prayer is that i will live the remainder of my days living in the present moment, grateful for my experience of right now.

Charlie its a grat place to be. Just "being", its so liberating and calming. you probably experinced more in those two days of quietness than in a full planned week. i love you charlie and miss your energy for life.
