Night Off
I got home from work yesterday and all I wanted to do was not work on the chicken coop. So that’s what I did, with Cyndie’s blessing. When I walked in the door, I found a fire burning in the fireplace and it was enough to squelch any lingering motivation to rush out into the chilly grayness of the fading day to pick up where I’d left off on the design-on-the-fly construction project.
I delved into some acoustic guitar music in my iTunes library and created a playlist to serve as soundtrack for luxuriating on the couch in front of the warm glow of burning logs with friends, while Cyndie made magic in the kitchen. It was divine.
Life is good.
If you don’t stop and take that in every once in a while, you might miss it.

Relative Something 
Nice one, John: how wonderful to share that ‘magic’ moment with you. It is called ‘ joyful presence’, isn’t it? And when you do return to your endeavor it will be different, charged with that sense of appreciation. There are times when you are preparing the way, though, you might at that moment not lift a finger. Soon you will know the bounty and beauty of chickens and feel extra blessed. The cock will crow at the break of a new day! It is fun that way, for he will also crow lots of times throughout the day as well, prolonging his message and sense of presence. Love you guys!
