Today is threatening rain, I’m tired, and it’s a No Spend Challenge Month. Exactly how I will spend my day is still uncertain. I could work on the Herculean organizing project in my messy craft room or maybe do some decluttering and experiment in the kitchen. Maybe I’ll watch a movie or pull out a puzzle. You can bet I’ll do some reading.

None of it will be too taxing but you can bet I’ll enjoy having the free time to do as I please. My favorite days, in fact, are the ones where I get to do just that. No plans. No stress. I can just putter around and do what I feel like.

The photo above was taken one morning in December at the famed Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado. I was wandering around on the cold when they turned off the Christmas lights.

A new day had dawned. The sky was starting to look like a bundle of cotton candy. Ducks, geese and swans sang their little hearts out as they splashed around. it was awe inspiring to stand in the cold and see nature at work all around.

If every day were so magnificent, it seems that the majesty would be lost and it all would become… well ….. everyday.

That’s partly why I’m grateful for these regular days with rest and chores. They make the special ones seem that much more special! So, whether you’re home cleaning a closet or out on adventure, I wish you the very best day.

Enjoy!
