Welcome!

Every night I go to bed, I have thoughts swirling in my head. Things to do. Scrapbook pages I want to create. Gifts I want to make. Skills I want to learn. And, of course, daily happenings that I don't want to forget, but invariably will by tomorrow morning, only to pop up in a random thought weeks down the road. So, here I am. I may use this blog daily to empty my head and heart before cuddling up in my duvet, or as it may be, I may write in it once a month. Who knows. It is for me, but perhaps something I write or learn may spark a fire in someone else. Perhaps it may quiet a mind or make you feel like you are not alone out there. It is for me. But perhaps it is for you.

Wealth

This is defined in many ways by different people. I am in the midst of a very wealthy weekend.  A massage. Tea with a friend on her new back porch.  All day canning 350 pounds of tomatoes with an amazing team of great people.  Drinks with the neighbour gals.  REAL conversations.  A sense of community.  A husband who took care of our son while I took time to do all this. A son who ran and gave me a hug when I returned and enjoys popping bubble wrap for long times.  And shortly we are on our way to Point Roberts to spend the day playing with friends and exploring the beach...The weekend is barely half over and it is already filled with abundance.

    How come you're so wise already?? It took me a lot longer to appreciate the every day moments and the richness of our life. We always felt blessed (well, mostly always) but didn't really live in the moment. Seems like I'm trying to really focus on those things now. It reminds me of a quote; "Time is a commodity. To say you don't have time is to say you don't want to do it." Wise! Really enjoying your blog!
