I Don’t Wanna…

I don't wanna "do" today.

Sleep wasn't fabulous. Woke up to dog pee in the floor. All my comfy jeans are in the hamper and I'm down to one bra. Sigh. I just don't wanna do today.

Coffee is good. Hubby got sent off with breakfast, vitamins and coffee. I trudge out to my rocker and take another sip from the biggest coffee cup I have. Mmmm. Things look better, but I still don't wanna do today.

Deep breath. settle in. Flies are threatening to make my day worse.

I start my daily regime. Look around. The sun is peeking out from the clouds. When I got out here it wasn't showing me it's face. The sheep are quietly grazing. They're probably thankful it's not blazing hot yet. The cows are taking their turn at the hay bale and the equine are lined up at the fence waiting on me.

Here comes Harriet squawking her arrival. Those chickens crack me up. Nothing gets in their way and nothing messes with them.

The humming birds are buzzing my head. I think they're trying to cheer me up.

I start listing all I'm thankful for and my spirits lift a bit. Then I read my daily devotional and finish my coffee.

I'm better now.

Time to don my overalls and get out there to start my chores. I'm glad for a dog that loves unconditionally and horses that smell so good. They're therapy, as are the mundane chores I busy myself with everyday.

I'm grateful to do today.
