Moments of Gratuitious Grace

”How simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut…the sound of the sea…All that is required to feel that here and now is happiness is a simple, frugal heart.”

-Nikos Kazantzakis


Cooking date with Joe

Hello, dear friend…

Somewhere in the week’s passing moments…

as I was doing nothing particularly special I looked around the cottage and thought how good this day is…

how good it is to be alive...
My SoCal roots-demand pretty flowers
Checking out my She Shed

Content…

if it’s raining…to feel the cozy sound of rain…

Pitter patter of rain


I think about how meaningful & good life can be when I take the time to celebrate ordinary moments.

Taking a stroll
Marina on Presidents’ Day
February’s full moon…known as a Super Snow Moon

Those simple things in life which bring the possibility of the moment…

Joe slicing and dicing



Snapping up as much as I can…

Bluebird of happiness
Stir away Joe!
Ready to bake…

those illuminating moments…

when I feel open to all the rhythms of life…

Voila!


Savoring the desire for awakening…as a hope…a possibility…one which feeds my soul…making contact with an inner life…
