Share the Joy–Little things…

No matter how grumpy or blah I get,

there is always joy to be found.

Joy in the little things,

small graces,

in fact,

is

one of

my ways up and out.

This week’s joy list are all present moment beauties.

Things that made my heart feel glad, joyful just by stopping

and looking at them with my full attention.

Look around.

What’s bringing you joy right in this very moment…?

two sides of an egg shaped Rock Being…

my wares displayed on my altar…

spent bits from dyeing…

my daily sprig of lilac and its heavenly scent…

kitty cat stalking squirrel…

taking time to stop, breathe and see…

all joys to me…

The Day after…

It would seem that elections give me headaches.

It must be all that line drawing, “I win, you lose” and battleground crap. I am so happy with the outcome, as I believe in Barack Obama. He is the only candidate that gives me any hope that we can ever get closer to living in that field that Rumi talks about.

I know it won’t happen in my life time, but there is always hope.

I have a horrible headache this morning and I have many things to accomplish today.

Tomorrow, I leave for a week long visit up north.

Number 1 is time with my niece Jessica, who is 21, and who really wanted to make a plan for some Aunt/Niece time when I saw her about a month ago. How could I refuse ??? So we are taking two days in a hotel in Mont Tremblant, to hang out and spend precious time together !!! We got a great deal on the hotel as it is kind of the dead season up there until the snow falls. I am so excited to be with that girl!

I will also see my mom, my two sisters and a friend or two, (there is never enough time to see everyone I would love to see !)

and then on Monday,

I head back down to VT to spend some time with e.b. !

It is bundle up time in VT in every sense of the word,

and I need to share some of that time with my amazing friend !

Off to pop some Advil and hope that this headache doesn’t slow me down too much.

Wishing you a happy Wednesday, Beautiful Ones !
