Good Coffee Morning

Saturday, September 24, 2011

Back in Sutherlin after a little Tuckaway retreat. Good coffee! We are cutting back on coffee and opting for tea most mornings. It sure makes that cup of coffee good! Had a pretty good night of sleep..... after it cooled off. Had a splendid time at Tuckaway yesterday. Coffee on the porch in the sun (see photo at left) and then coffee at the pond. We harvested cherry tomatoes, beans and cukes, windfall apples and pears and hiked up the hill for more blackberries. I can't believe how much I enjoyed picking blackberries! It is relaxing, calming, pleasurable. The same was true for the cherry tomatoes. Good morning God, angels, guides... good morning Sherry.

I have finally located my "idea book" but I don't want to get caught up in a "to do" list. I have enjoyed the feeling of daily freedom - freedom to choose day to day,  moment to moment. I know how locked in my dictator can get - locked into that "To Do" list.... making me feel good if I get it done - making me feel bad if I don't.

Martha Beck has really opened my eyes to the dictator. I think I have experienced a dramatic shift of some kind. I seem to be enjoying life on a whole new level.... a deeper level. I am more present in the moment. Is it detoxing on Fat Flush? Is it the Chakra clearing exercises? Is it you, Sherry? Was it being in the country at Tuckaway?

I am grateful for the joy I am experiencing. Thank you God.

We couldn't help but notice the contrast between being on the front porch here in Sutherlin and being on the front porch at Tuckaway. They both have good views. We look across a valley full of people coming and going here in Sutherlin. At Tuckaway we look across a valley filled with cows and llamas. Tuckaway is quiet except for the occassional cow, coyote, birds and bees. The valley in Sutherlin is seldom quiet. It is filled with the noise of children playing, barking dogs, traffic noise and guns - at least last evening.
