5th August
2009
written by Stef

Today I watched an end of an era… on TV.

Today I wore my boots and a long sleeved blouse and jeans into a rainy day.

Today I loved a cute little doggie too much and scared him.

Today I got a sculpture of a full-bodied woman.

Today I pushed my body to its painful limits.

Today I remembered that my mom, at my age now, was already taking care of two daughters, while I’m living in the city taking care of myself.

Today I walked with the wind on my back and my hair on my ice cream cone.

Today I, with my sisters in faith, celebrated being a woman, wondered at stories and the Author of it all.

Today, I give thanks for this life. For this time in history.

Today, just like on any other day, I wonder if I’m meant to do big things, and if so– what are they and how am I going to do them?

Today, I will do the small things that I have to do and give thanks.

Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Psalm 90:12
