Noticing # 86

Noticing and being grateful! 
Yes! It’s Friday!
Tulips on my table
Coffee
Flannel PJs
My journal by my side
Candle light - still dark
Silence
Solitude

And you? What are you grateful for?

Noticing #85

Guiding my way home
Wolf moon
Shining in the eastern sky

Full moon blessings to you!

Noticing # 84

Any else dreaming of spring?

The steps to my garden are frozen
The jar patiently
Waits
For spring
To do its job

Noticing # 83

My garden
Still pretty in the winter
Snow flakes dancing
In the middle of the stillness

Have a nice Tuesday!

Noticing # 82

Noticing tiny pleasures in small gestures, like getting these tulips at the grocery store yesterday. My favourite flowers that only show up here in the spring, it was lovely to find them in the middle of the winter.

Have a great Sunday!

Noticing # 81

Setting priorities and glueing pieces together this Saturday morning. Thoughts turn clear when words are written on a blank page. We make them concrete, we can fix, edit and at the end make sense of what was deeply hidden inside us.

Noticing # 80

Make a place to sit down.

Sit down. Be quiet.

You must depend upon

affection, reading, knowledge,

skill—more of each

than you have—inspiration

work, growing older, patience,

for patience joins time

to eternity…

Wendell Berry, Given

Happy Friday!

Noticing # 79

Winter wonderland by my door
Should I go out to enjoy the softness?

My journals

I posted the photo and the text on IG a few days ago. I received many lovely comments and my friends said I’ve inspired them! So I’m sharing it here, maybe you will be inspired as well.

Noticing # 78

Dreaming of spring
Underneath each petal
A breath of hope

I found this beauty at the grocery store last weekend, I could resist and brought her home. A week has passed and she is still a beauty.

Have a great Sunday!

    Elizabeth, you've given Regret a consistent and oppressive personality. Your description of him as a companion with heavy hands, crushing…
