Subtle Hints You Are Coming Back

The light streaming through the window creates long, reaching shadows against the vegetables I am  about to chop.  Have you noticed how cold air makes the sunshine thin and clearer somehow?  I like it.

I'm happy in this moment, standing here with my knife in hand, because it's the first real productive thing I've attempted to do for my family today and I'm glad I'm finally doing something worthwhile with my time.

Well, I mopped the floor today.  I guess I can count that as well.  I almost forgot  about that because I mopped while talking on the phone with my sister.  It wasn't a thorough job, but it improved things.

Using my neck to pin the phone to my shoulder, I mopped and listened to my sister talk about Luxury. Maybe I should think about it, she says.  Perhaps I could try having a perspective that embraces luxury, see what happens?
I thought about it for only a minute.
Then I looked up the dictionary's meaning of what I before perceived to be a profligate pursuit.  As I scanned the page my eyes snagged a few choice definitions for "luxury": 
sumptuous
refinement
delicacy
indulgence-

But that was earlier.

Now it's dinner time.  I continue to chop up the food and the oiled pan heats up- all while the thin, clear sun shines through my window and onto my workspace.  "The days are getting longer, " I hear a deep, handsome voice say from the couch.

No wonder I feel so good.
I am making dinner in sunshine.
It's been awhile.
It feels
Luxurious.
