DAY EIGHT (yesterday, almost caught up!)
DAY EIGHT (yesterday, almost caught up!)
My plan when I woke up was to take it easy until 1:30 hanging out with my favorite Aunt who took stellar care of me and then after lunch and a nap make my way to see my son’s Rugby game at URI. It was an ambitious goal as it was about a fifty minute car ride, driven by my dearest of friends and my son’s second family, and a good hike across a few fields, not to mention the excitement of seeing Michael playing, worrying and being so happy for him at the same time. I’m happy to say that I did it! It was a fabulous was to move through the first day after my first full week. So yesterday being DAY EIGHT, I woke up to this song by MAMUSE called Glorious.
This is exactly how I felt at the beginning of the day and at the end of the day so rather than write, I thought it would be a lovely way to express my joy. The tune is great and the lyrics, well they speak for themselves.

Oh what a day! Glorious!
Gather ‘round
There’s nothing better
Than a friend
Oh what a day! Glorious!
The smell of rain
Has hitched a ride
Upon the wind
I’ve got good friends
To the left of me
And good friends
To my right
Got the open sky above me
And the earth beneath my feet
Got a feeling in my heart
That’s singin’
All in life is sweet
Oh what a day!
Oh, what a day! Glorious!
All the clouds
Have gathered round
The tops of trees
Oh what a day! Glorious!
Pitter patter
Fallin’ rain I can’t believe
All that’s green
Lifts up its leaves
Singin’ water come on in
We’ve been waiting all these days
Prayin’ you would come to quench
Every yearnin’ in our bones
Water, life with you begins
Oh what a day
Home is believing
Home has wings of faith
Home is a clear river
Of perceiving
All is well
This is a friendly mystery
Oh, what a day! Glorious!
Baby blue jay
Squawkin’ in the cherry tree
Oh, what a day! Glorious!
Deep in the night we had a raccoon robbery
Pitter patter little paws
Have left their footprints all around
Pitter patter evidence
Some fruit has fallen to the ground
Pitter patter sings my heart
At the thought of what’s to come
Oh, what a day!
Home is believing
Home has wings of faith
Home is a clear river of perceiving
All is well
This is a friendly mystery
All is well
This is a friendly mystery
Oh, what a day! Glorious!
Under the sky we slept last night
Just you and me
Oh, what a day! Glorious!
The waning moon
Our cycle is almost complete
We’ve got good friends to the left of us
And good friends to our right
Got the open sky above us
And the earth beneath our feet
Never fear-the birds are singin’
Even endings can be sweet
Oh, what a day!
Never fear — the birds are singin’
Even endings can be sweet
Oh, what a day!
Alayne and Michael

GLORIOUS.
