Like a Whisper/#9GoodThings

 Hi, 

Here we are again, at the close of another day filled with good things. There really are so many. My first and number one good thing actually occurred last night.

My hubby started doing the dinner dishes ( we have a pact-I cook, he cleans, even for baking projects!) Did I ever tell you how amazing he is?😊

Well, as soon as he squeezed out the Dawn detergent a tiny bubble floated over to where I sat on the bed and settled a few inches from me. I’m very accustomed to bubbles and their longevity but this little dude had staying power. Only a few mm in diameter, I though surely it would be gone in a few seconds. 

But, I took a dozen photos and two videos, all the while it swirled happily beside me. Finally, I decided to get my macro lens and try to get an amazing shot. I was about 9 seconds in when ..poof! It disappeared. It occurred to me in that magnificent moment of revelation and loss that this was no ordinary tiny bubble. It was there to teach me, as all things that come into my life do. 

1) We must always ‘see’ the world around us, for even the most seemingly insignificant moments are there  to help us move forward in our journey. 

2) Life is fleeting. Amazing, perfect, beautiful, magnificent, mesmerizing and all encompassing-until it is no more. Poof! Done. In the blink of an eye, the breath of a whisper or the hiccup in time. 

3) Savor the moments. I can’t emphasize this enough. In a life well lived there is no moment too small to be treasured. Even the sad or ‘bad’ ones work together for the good of the All That Is. Life is expression and without observation and experience, these expressions are as good as wasted. 

It’s there. Can you find it? 

There, in the center of that circle..

Isn’t it brilliant? 

And lingering, waiting, patiently…

Magnificently!

And then it was gone….

But today had more good things…

4) Moving one step closer to residency! 

5) New mixer for all those holiday goodies! 👍🏻👍🏻

6) Taking a look at our little town casino. No.  We don’t mind gambling now and then. But we have no interest in making a direct deposit. 🤪

7) Late breakfast at Isabella’s. The food is wonderful and what a bargain.  We both ate and drank for under $15. 😍

Egg, ham and cheese crepe

BLT with fries

8) Another wonderful day with my best bud.

And what a nice surprise!

9) An impromptu Happy Hour with my new friend. Bread, cheese, wonderful conversation. Kindred spirits! 

And how was your Monday? 

I will remember…will you?
