domesticity

A happy scene greats me as I look up from making bacon jam: Doug's putting up shelves in the bedroom and Jasmine's creating music with itunes.  It feels like a bit of family.

graciously grateful

The woman at the table next to me is graciously grateful.  She tells her host, "The meal was wonderful and the company even better."

as good as they said

Friends who have lived in and visited Lunenburg before me have been full of praise for The Knot - our local pub - and its famous Caesar salad. I wander down to give it a try  - and it's every good as they promised.

yin yang

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.  Anatole France

chasing sunrise

Vibrant splashes of orange, pink, and yellow greeted me as I left for work this morning.  Instead of turning right at the stop sign, I turned left and chased the sunrise to the shore.

being brave

Last night's conversation with Grace touched on being brave. "But I don't feel brave."  "You don't always have to feel brave to be brave" was her answer.

good morning

This morning starts off right with two sweet emails from a niece and nephew. They make me laugh out loud at a time that I'm usually playing mind games with the alarm clock.
