1. Some garage cleaning: opened a box and discovered my ooooold handwoven color gamp! I had no idea it was still around. Did it in 1984 when we were living in Nevada, whew -- that was a different life! 2. Enjoyed the latest Creativebug class 3. The bumblebee things arrived :) 4. Ready for the big rain in the forecast

1. Reminding myself: the things that I CAN control in my life are actually pretty good -- so the trick is to shut the rest of it out. Some days I can do that better than others. 2. The big red and white bearpaw quilt on the bed is making me happy every morning 3. Tony fixed the courtyard gate -- much better! 4. Both embroidery: Bunny portrait, and quiltmaking: Starowka, are coming along so nicely
As I watch the stars of evening, and in the morning open my window to the east, I shall observe the Ceremonial of quietness of heart and poise of spirit ... ~Abbie Graham~
A multitude of small delights constitute happiness - Charles Baudelaire -
Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. - Ralph Waldo Emerson -
Serendipity — luck that takes the form of finding valuable or pleasant things that are not looked for; a fortunate happenstance.
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
