So often our lives seem to revolve around rushing to the next thing. The next promotion. The next vacation. The next new, shiny gadget, tchotchke, or bauble that maybe we really don’t need, but really, really want.
There’s nothing wrong with moving forward, of course, except when we forget what we already have.
If you’re reading this, then you have a device connected to the Internet, most likely in a place you call home. It’s Sunday morning, so maybe you’re in your robe and pajamas, enjoying—we hope—the perfect cup of coffee or tea. Or perhaps it’s the evening and you’ve spent your day doing chores, in the garden, or reading a favorite book. It doesn’t much matter. Whenever it is, wherever you are, take a pause, look around and, for this moment, consider everything and everyone you have and how you can appreciate all of it just a little more every day.
Being grateful for what you have doesn’t mean you don’t get to miss your normal routine and everything that went along with it. If one of the things you’re longing for right now is to head out for a show, you’re in luck: later this week, on May 7, you’re invited to experience the Full Flower Moon, which will be the last supermoon of 2020! No reservations required and access is easy: simply step outside.
If you’re a mom or are fortunate enough to have a mom (or mother figure!) in your life, Mother’s Day is coming up and we lots of stay-at-home ideas to help celebrate. Whether for Mother’s Day or not, a springtime Sunday is always a good day for brunch! At-home mimosas optional.
Finally, you’ve likely heard of love languages, but flower languages? Yes, indeed. Find out what your favorite flower is trying to tell you.
As sure as the Sun will rise and set each day, The Old Farmer’s Almanac is here for you, now and always.
