Being Present


Feb. 4th

It’s amazing how little I really need to live. We have been sleeping on an Air Bed, using paper plates and a few borrowed towels.  Our apartment is empty as the selected few pieces of furniture we have sent have not arrived yet.  We had our first meal on a card table sitting on folding chairs. We are enjoying the empty space, the unfilled cabinets and what feels like the blank pages of our lives. What I realized today while shopping for a can opener and frying pan, is how totally alive and present I am in my life.
