the morning after
gratitude clung to all dreams
like whipped cream on pie
so simple,
to pause and breathe deeply,
to meet each unfolding moment
with a grateful heart.
thank you for gracing each friday
with your beauty,
your ability to distill life down to the most thoughtful essence.
haiku truly are
mindful expressive jewels,
whipped cream crowning any slice of life.
thank you for sweetening mine!
special thanks to deb taylor
for being the creative hands and eyes behind today's
thoughtful photograph.

so beautiful Rebecca... I am grateful for the sun pouring through our windows, for the companionship of our friends gathered round two tables last evening, to have both of my daughters home, for all of the amazing souls who participated in the gratitude quilt this year because so me this is evidence that there is an abundance of love in this world... likely far more genuine love, kindness, compassion and gratitude than anything else:-) Thank YOU for all you do to create a sacred space for sharing and connecting here on your blog.
