Simple Blessings Abound...

It has been quite some time since I have been on my blog.  Life has a funny way of jumping in the way every time I think I will have a chance to write.  I figured I would take a few minutes and reconnect with those who care to read the blog and look forward to more active participation this year.

Life has been so busy that I almost had forgotten about the simple blessings that I have.  The fact that I find time to have a cup of tea with my husband almost every morning on the front porch before the neighborhood awakens from its slumber is truly one of my favorite blessings.  It is during that time that I can think (or not) about the randomness of thoughts that run through my head at that hour.  Attempting to answer questions such as, Do all birds speak the same basic language, just in different dialects?  Why is it that just as I have reached my boiling point with my daughters that they start acting lovely again?  How do my perennial flowers know when to reappear in the Spring?  Where did I really come from?  Where does my brain store all these questions when I am not paying attention to them?

It really is amazing to me that this simple blessing, this simple act of having tea, can bring me so much happiness and energy each day.  For that I am grateful and hope that you all can count at least one simple blessing that exists for you each day.

Namaste',
