Beginner's Mind

I seem to have started the day with beginner's mind. As I was driving to my see my first client this morning, everything felt new, like I was seeing it for the first time. I had the feeling I get when I'm on vacation with Kira, where everything seems new and interesting and I feel excited just to be driving on a new road in a new place, where even simple little things fill me with curiosity.

The howl of coyotes this morning as I walked to my client's door was spectacular. The scent of humidity in the desert was amazing. The sound of Great Western Grackles making their usual noise was comforting.

What a nice way to start the day. I have no idea where it came from or why I'm in this space, but it's rare for me to feel this way when I am in my routine. Very cool.

Okay, that's all. I'm off to the gym.
