Now I become myself. It's taken time, many years and places...

what things, big or small, are bringing you joy today?

A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, 

as if supported by the rays of the sun,

a bird settled on the fire escape,

joy in the task of coffee,

joy accompanied me as I walked.

Love the bug ! when I was in the apple orchard I was trying to take a photo of a ladybug and it would not stop moving and it was really moving along quickly - I almost knocked myself out trying to capture it and never did - so I really appreciate this photo . I also love the one before of the pink tulips - pink - one of my new favorite colors ... I love your blog posts. M

I love ladybugs. I always sing them the ladybug song (up to the part where you tell them their house is on fire because that seems not very nice) and try to introduce them to Atlas, but neither side is very interested.

Today:
tulip petals on my bathroom counter
a blue glass of water
slices of orange on a plate

Happy Tuesday!

What a great picture. I use to spend hours outside watching crickets and lady bugs as a kid. Today, I am loving my second hand shirt and sandals, that I won a stack of photos, a interview I have coming up,friends coming to visit me and a camping trip this weekend. Thank you for the reminder that life is good. I have been way too, hard on myself lately.
