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.
Real conversation, indeed! Like a breath of fresh air :) Glad to have shared it - now off to pick berries...
ReplyDeleteHow 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!
