Wonders of My Small World

This month, I wanted to reflect on what I am grateful for. And happily, there are so many to choose from that these are only the things I could easily come up with in one sitting:


Butterflies landing on my shoulder


Patterned grooves of fossils


Intricate spider webs created overnight


Quiet smiles of a funny moment memory


Lime green inchworms curling and stretching


Skyping someone who’s 14 hours away


Shoulder massages that hurt at first before relaxing you to your knees


Warmed, glistening milk chocolate chips waiting to be stirred


Moths with giant hairy ears perched outside a window


Impromptu philosophical discussions while sharing wine and cheese


Hummingbirds hovering close by


Crisp new books inviting me in


Fiddleheads unfurling into maidenhair fronds


Many hands that make light work of a big job


The riot of colourful leaves before their bittersweet end


Juicy wild raspberries


Easy access to music recorded live on stage


Being on the same wavelength


Monarch caterpillars gorging on butterfly weed


The earthy smell of shaven black walnut wood


The deep colour of a clear blue night


40 years of birthday cards from my grandparents


The suspension of an outside world and slow absorption back to reality after leaving the movie theatre in the middle of the day


Greeting my husband in a crowded public space from across the room with a smile


Beautiful stone tiles that serve as organic artwork on the walls


Watching the hard-fought win of a closely-matched game


Discovering you have the same question as other Googlers, and better yet, finding the right answer


My blog readers…thanks for hanging in there with me.
