day 9 – the makings of a perfect Sunday…

• sleep in until 7:00 (which technically is sleeping in when your usual waking hour is 5am)
• stretch the whole length of the bed, then wake up excited to start the day
• grind coffee beans, revel in the roasted aroma
• put espresso pot on the stove top and throw a load of laundry in the washing machine
• sip coffee and check emails
• fold laundry and enjoy the sweet satisfaction of having house chores done by 8:30
• meet a friend for breakfast at 10:00
• stay at café until 1:00, write, sip rooibos tea and indulge in a big berry muffin (breakfast dessert)
• go for a run on the mountain, get caught in the rain
• pick up photos from printer, go to post office and send a print to Maine Momma in exchange for one of her lovelies
• mail a little surprise to someone special (I heart the Post Office… do you love it as much as I do?)
• stop by the best book/music shop in town and listen to this and this and this and this.
• when the sun shines again, grab Kodak Duaflex and spend an hour taking photos
• watch this video and have a good laugh
• prepare a healthy dinner – bowl of brown rice, baked tofu and steamed broccoli with tahini sauce
• enjoy a glass of Bordeaux and write simple blog post
• knit for a bit
• get ready to hop back into bed and read
• wish you could do it all over again

I spent time with all my loves today – writing, running, cooking, listening to music, photography, laughing, knitting, reading and sipping coffee in a quaint café with a friend.  Truly, I couldn’t have conjured up a better day.   One moment flowed into the next effortlessly and there was joy in each of those moments.  What is your idea of a perfect Sunday?  I hope today was one of those days for you.
