I am happy today. The sun is shining and I'm always happy when the sun is shining. I'm happy today because even though the excitement of the party has faded and we are returning to the ordinary day, things are just a tiny bit different.
Dread has melted into comfort. Richard wrote a love note and left it on my desk before riding his bike to work. His sweet words changed the way I usually approach my day: with hot coffee and a trip to the monitor. Instead I went outside to greet the morning and our little black cat. It was bound to be one of those days that gives the heart a vacation.
I have decided to train my thoughts to seek positive ideas. I have decided to relax and enjoy the daily, ordinary beauty that saturates my life in each temporal season.

Blessings to you, my friends! I would like to dedicate this post to my good friend Thisisme at Southhamsdarling. She loves a beautiful garden and a sunny day. My thoughts and prayers are with her as she faces a serious health crisis.
My prayers, too, are with our dear friend. I am so looking forward to the day when she returns to full health!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are gorgeous, Jenny, and I love what you said about a heart vacation. Your world is beautiful, Jenny, and I'm so glad you share it with us.
What beautiful pictures, Jenny! I'm envious of your garden - the color! the veggies!
