Yay!  Today we havest!  We receive the benefits, reap the rewards, pluck the fruits of our labors.  A taste of the bounty to come.  Celebrate yourself and all your hard word!

And what did this mean for me today?  This morning, it was a high flying sensation.  A perfect morning of doing a little of everything in my repertoire: reading, rithmatic and ruminating.  Even a little riting advice.

But it feels like I forgot, by the end of the day, to celebrate the harvest.  I only pined for more.  Looking back on what I had.

It's an easy trap to fall into, to feel good and then retreat; to focus on the resting phase like it's a low point.  And to actively look for all the things that could prevent more good days.  Like we're only allowed one?  Never.  Never!  More and more and more.  Today was just a taste of the bounty; a taste of the harvest.  Like testing the fruit to make sure it's going to be ripe.  And I do want more.  I want many more mornings like this morning.  But I want even more than that.  I want days.  I want evenings.  I want weeks and months and years.  I want it all.  Even the resting phases.  I will practice the resting phases as I practiced the skills that give me my bounty.  And eventually, even resting will be a celebration.

I hope you have a great day!
