Today's miracle was right there when I opened my eyes, blessedly before either of the children opened theirs.  Out my bedroom window- layers and layers of sky turning shades of pink and blue and lavender, stacked above my pie slice of ocean view  .  And when I came down stairs I blissfully tromped right across the cheerios crunching under my bare feet on the kitchen floor (obviously my 11 year old helped himself to a little snack while I was upstairs last night) and right to my laptop to sit in front of the dining room window to write and watch the casserole of clouds change from pastel to bold and now a dark fall gray with bright yellow sandwiched in the gaps.  I think it's turning out to be true- that when I write about food I don't have to eat it.  Even the sky now is practically edible.  Sunrise is better than donuts, though I am missing the jelly squishing out that little hole in the end and filling my mouth.  Still, this morning I've filled that space with a half a banana and my new compulsion-  Celestials Seasonings green tea citrus flavored.  I'm missing the idea of my coffee but yesterday after Thanksgiving dinner when I  had my first cup in 10 days it tasted so bitter and was making my stomach turn sour so I dumped it out and made my tea.  Right now- not going to work- I don't need something to push me into gear.  I'm just looking for something to keep my hands busy and sooth me at the same time.  Tea seem to be just the thing for that.  7:13:01 AM    comment []
