A Mid-Week ~ Joy List ~

 

A Mid ~ Week ~ Joy List

a weekly ritual

a reminder to stop and pay attention to the little beauties and graces that make life magical

and to set aside time for gratitude each day

 

I am so thankful for my garden. 

Flowers, vegetables, herbs and the nature that is in the garden. During a week of difficult current events, going out to the garden is where I can find time to rest my mind. It is the place that when I feel lost, I remember I have a Captain guiding me, I just have to TRUST.

 

 

Summer evening walks, with the song of summer bugs and the fragrance of fresh cut lawn.

 



You are a piece of the puzzle of someone else's life. You may never know where you fit, but others will fill the holes in their lives with pieces of you.

  2. The curly frilly yellow flower is gorgeous! What is it, some kind of marigold? Or maybe a mum?
