I had really grand plans for today. I was going to get stuff done. I had lists and everything. Funny I know. I was a productive person right up until noon when I had pumpkin waffles for lunch. Those waffles must have had some weird effect on me because for the rest of the day I curled up with a blanket and the puppy and read October books. Not one, not even two, but four and I am halfway through my fifth. I only paused long enough to eat dinner. Ok, I didn't pause so much as carry it back to my room and continue reading while I ate. But it was so worth it. I read outside in the weak sunshine and gentle breeze. I read in the garage. I read in the livingroom, bonus room and my room. I read on the floor, on couches, on concrete, on a chair and on my feet, and you know what, it was wonderful.
October is like that. I can plan my day one way and have it take an unexpected turn and love the new plan even better. I have oodles of stuff on my plate for tomorrow, but something tells me I will be staying up to finish my newest book. After all, that's why God made coffee. He made it expressly for people who stay up all night reading.
So thank you October for such a beatiful day. It was peaceful and unexpected and wonderful. Just like my favorite month.
