Cooking

2013-01-29T18:09:00.001-08:00

Cooking is one of my favorite things to do and makes me feel so spoiled. I cooked at home each night this week. I made two large pots of this "curried potato and butternut squash" Lots of left overs! The recipe is available on my other blog

Beauty in Everything

2013-01-16T18:57:00.001-08:00

Make the most of every moment and find the good in everything, because really everything is perception. For instance we can cry in agony over a stubbed toe or bask in the glory that we are alive to feel it, which makes it a positive glorious moment. Smile, laugh and enjoy EVERYTHING!

In loving memory of MJW who's birthday is around the corner on January 24th

Joy and Sorrow

2013-01-16T18:23:00.000-08:00

"Then a woman said, Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow.
     And he answered:
     your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
     And the selfsame well from which your
laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
     And how else can it be?
     The deeper that sorrow carves into your
being, the more joy you can contain.
     Is not the cup that holds your wine the very
cup that was burned in the potter's oven?
     And is not the lute that soothes your
spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
     When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and
you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow
that is giving you joy.
     When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and
you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which
has been your delight.
     Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and
others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."
     But I say unto you, they are inseperatble. Together they
come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember
that the other is asleep upon your bed.

     Verily you are suspended like scales between
your sorrow and your joy.
     Only when you are empty are you standstill and
balanced.
     When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold
and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall."

--Kahlil Gibran

Scenic walks with Hank always bring moments of awareness and appreciation, but today was extra special. The walk started with a handful of deer crossing our path, followed by Hank just being cute and playful and as we rounded the corner back to the house a Black Hawk rushed a corn-on-the-cob to her young just moments before the snow began to fly...and P.S. The smog lifted completely out of the valley last week and we've had clear, clean air ever since - very beautiful and REFRESHING.

Last week a White Hawk flew overhead during our walk TWO days in a row, and then today a Black Hawk, what are the odds?!? It's amazing enough appreciating everyday and everything in our surroundings, it's almost if the more you appreciate the so called little things the more immaginable things present themselves - I'm still in AWE
