The boys were tucked into bed and were happily chatting. Bedtime had been peaceful and calm. I had started a pot of tomato sauce with my youngest before bed and was getting ready to can it.
There is something about the energy of my kitchen that I simply love. I dimmed the lights and turned up the folk music that was playing in the background. As I layed out the pots and pans for canning I poured a glass of red wine. The crickets and insects outside were chirping and I adored listening to them as I knew that it wouldn’t be long before fall came and their noises would be gone. There was a slight breeze coming through the open windows and doors. I loved the way that the breeze flowed through the kitchen bringing all of the evening energy in from outside. There was nothing special about the night, it was a simple night. Yet, there was everything special about the night, it was a magickal night because I was alive and happy and the small details in life were catching my attention.
It was a Friday night and I was home alone, unless you count the three beautiful sleeping boys. As I canned tomatoes and danced in the kitchen I got chatting with one of my closest spirit guides. He told me that I couldn’t dance, it was a common statement from him and I laughed and kept dancing. We made small talk and then he asked if I knew why I was so happy. The question made me stop for a moment and reflect, but then a song by Shakey Graves came on so I went back to dancing. He left silence and so did I.
Eventually, I answered him “I am happy, as a person. I am finally happy. My soul is happy. My heart is happy. I no longer feel inadequate. I feel worthy of happiness and so I am happy. I no longer need external things or people or experiences to make me happy”.
