Living Happiness ...

Dear beautiful friends:

It is early morning here in Crete, and I am warming myself with a hot cup of vanilla coffee and listening to the tinkling of sheep bells outside and the rooster crowing across the street. It is quiet except for these sounds and the occasional yip of a neighborhood dog, and I am relishing the cool morning air and the green canopy of the fig tree leaves over our porch.

I am writing to you today just to let you know that all is well. A dear fellow blogger, whose blog I love very much, chose to check in on me this morning. And I knew that the post I'd been meaning to write to let all of you know the same was long overdue.

Good news: I am fine. I am beyond fine, actually, and feel very blessed, but the words for this feeling have simply been hard to come by. So much has happened in the course of these four summer months, that I am at a loss on where to begin. Where do I begin telling you about this? Oh, and what about that? Oh yes, and that, too?! I have been allowing myself time to settle in a bit more to my life here at home before I've let my pen take off on all of the tangents it will want to take and, hopefully, that you will want to read.

But let me say this: I have missed you, too. Not in a hungry, needy kind of way. But in the way that good friends miss sitting down for the daily chat they're used to. You're my morning companions. There are many cups of coffee we share, and have shared, since I began this blog in April. So I ask that you hold on just a little bit longer. I am desperately ready for a big catch-up with you. It will be so great to see you again. It will be soon.

For now, I can only tell you that I'm back to the still point again. The unmoored feeling of the summer is gone. I feel centered and steady and strong. And unbelievably happy.

So much love to all of you. Please feel free to email me and share with me your news. My email is given on my Contact page.

Peace today.
Namaste.
