gratitude......

Today....

I am grateful.

Some of the angels in my life came over

and brought...

GIFTS!

in the way of dinner....

Oh my how I do love gifts,

but most especially the ones that you can eat.

Love went into every part of this.

Salad makings....including toppings and poppy seed dressing

(from Trader Joe's no less....)

Pasta...fresh, even...

sweet veggies to toss with the pasta and olive oil...

A beautiful bottle of wine.

ROSES, pink....my favorite!

Tea and sweets....

and the very best of all..

(I know, because I am eating some right now)

homemade Pumpkin bread!!!

What could be better than all of this

brought to us on a cool rainy fall day!

I told you there were angels..

smiles.

Angels......

Angels have been placed in my life.
I am absolutely sure of this.
Really.
I have felt that my grandmother Bess has always been my "guardian angel". But this is different. I have people, alive and breathing, that gently cruise in and out of my life, with regularity, providing me with curiosity, love, serenity, adventure, etc.. Actually all of the things that make life worth living. Interesting people. People with lives so different from my own, that I am intrigued. It is like God's little treat, just for me. I wake up these days just thinking "What is in store for me today?". And, I am almost never bored. This is an important aspect of this phenomenon.
Leos, of which I am one, really, really hate to be bored. We make mischief when we are bored, and that is almost never the good kind of mischief.
This "turning 50" has been the best year of my life. I am so grateful for the opportunity to see things differently. To appreciate the quiet small aspects of life that give it meaning. So grateful.....
