love yourself...


I remember taking this photo many many years ago.  Those are little crab apples clinging to a tree in early fall.  I was in a beautiful meadow with my daughter and my mother and my camera.  What magical quiet moments our lives are made of.  I hope you see and feel something magical today.  Maybe a warm piece of buttery toast, a smile from a stranger, a flock of birds, an embrace of a loved one or the warmth of the sun on your skin.

I think I may have just
found my moment, looking
at your beautiful new puppy,
Tinley! There is nothing like
a puppy, kitten or baby to
make you smile and realize
how sweet it simply is to be
alive. Happy Tuesday!

If only every self-doubting, self-critical adolescent could truly internalize that thought... life could be so much more beautiful for them. j

awwwwww so very true....
but today lucky you have something soft, goofy, funny and cuddly warm when she sleeps to love you.
Puppies are then best nappers.

cheers, parsnip

Love this quote and the photo.
I had such a busy day yesterday I didn't read your blog! I did have some quiet moments last evening reading a couple of chapters of "East of Eden".

A precious boy who looked up into my eyes today with his beautiful baby-blues and with a warm smile a squeeze of his hand tenderly said "Mom, I trust you....."
