Blissful gloom

Today was a fairly gloomy day. It felt like nighttime at 3 p.m. and the constant drizzle of precipitation was enough to make anyone a bit despondent. But today that was not the case for me. I'll admit there was a slight hesitation when I heard the redundant annoyance of my phone alarm at 6:45 a.m. But aside from my natural inclination to pull the covers over my head and ignore life's daily demands, I had quite a wonderful day. If I were to give you a play by play of everything that occurred, it would be nothing out of the ordinary, yet today felt extraordinary. Today I was more grateful than usual for my warm cup of morning coffee. When I looked out the window at the dusky sky, I was rather pleased with a day of bleak solitude. I'll even admit to being grateful for something as unspiritual as morning new shows the Rachael Ray cooking show. {{It's the simple things in life that are sometimes the most elaborate in our minds}} I felt motivated in ways that I hadn't in so long. I felt peace that sometimes I find myself to be lacking. I had hope in the middle of my war zone of a mind distraction. I'm not really sure why today was different from all other days, it just simply was. Today I felt so thankful for a chance to live and breathe, to live a life serving my creator.

Today was a blissful gloom.
