Thank You

“Love cannot be far behind a grateful heart and thankful mind.” 
A Course in Miracles

There is something pure and lovely about vulnerability mixed with a deep sense of thankfulness for the simple things in life that bring us joy. In this place where tears and a quickened heart rate are never far away, one is alert and receptive.  

Gratitude List for Summer 2015:

Left in between my front doors, a special gift from T.
‣ Watching my patient daughter play with four feral kittens. Her long and gently undulating hair aflame in the afternoon light

Every Breath You Take: The Singles by The Police

‣ Wind in the leaves of the tall pines, maples, and oaks

‣ Curious blue-eyed dragonflies

‣ Sudoku!

‣ Henkell Rosé

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle

‣ Bob Burns Books, where we always find something special. This year it was two contemporary seafarer memoirs by female adventurers and a few Fairy Realm books in excellent condition.

‣ Afternoon concerts by the cicadas and crickets

A virtual hug

‣ Enchanting sunlight in the early morning/evening

‣ The tribal drum of distant thunder followed by a gentle rain (that was pleasantly reminiscent of the sound of static at the end of a record)

A thoughtful gift from R. ♥
From L.: Peace & Tranquility

Simple Pleasures


shaking leaves transport me to the seaside
August insects make love in the tall grass
the high romance of flowers in bloom
sunlight dancing on water, leaves, and
in the highlights of her red/gold hair
health restored after weeks of illness
a feeling of lightness and ease
knowing for certain that someone cares
