Her Charmed Life

I rarely remember to acknowledge the good in my life. I focus on the negative because it’s so much more prevalent at the moment. Here’s some positive things in my life right now.

My apartment is full of laundry that needs to be folded, but the laundry is clean. I’m sitting at my computer desk, surrounded by my plants. My lavender pot is growing well and hasn’t died since I moved in. I also have two (!!) set of new flowers that my people got me last night. I am currently surrounded by small signs of them. The flowers, a candy wrapper, the faint scent of them that lingers on my couch blanket. I’m wrapping some small holiday gifts and making some decorations for my tree. I hung up some new wall decor I got a few days ago. My apartment smells like citrus, there’s leftover pizza in the fridge for me to eat later. My body is sore and tired from the attention, the care it got last night. My heart is tender and blissful from the patience and care it received. My soul feels fed and lazy. I am very content, like a cat napping in the sun. Probably an orange one. I want this feeling to linger. I lived a lifetime in the span of 16 or so hours and I want to do it forever.
