Today I read a Regina Brett essay called “The secret of life is not a secret. It’s sprinkled all over your life.”
She explains that the “secret” is always available, and for at least 4 pages she lists everyday moves and thoughts that add to life. No spiritual coaches needed. Everything is right in front of us.
Here is the list I made in my journal after reading her essay:
Walking Bunche Beach before 8 a.m.
Lectio Divina
Reading books by my favorite authors
Discovering new favorite authors
Inspiring creative writers
Bluegrass festivals
Neighbors I can count on
My old vinyl records—lots of memories in those grooves
Plenty of food in the fridge
Edye’s mint chocolate chip ice cream
Accomplishing new tasks around my home
Pleasant afternoons on the lanai, reading and napping
New music releases
Finding old music releases I never paid attention to
Discovering a new orchid bloom
