Sometimes you wake up and realize how alone you feel and your world seems a grey place. Sometimes you wake up and you think of the times you were happy in some far off place and it puts a big smile on your face. Sometimes you wake up remembering a dream that keeps recurring and you don’t even know why. Your thoughts are just jumbles in your head. The best times are those moments seeing the beauty of the dawn, when the morning light slowly shows its face and you realize that even in darkness, you can see the light, a wonderful vista of twinkling stars. Somewhere up there, you can see the brush strokes of a great Master and you feel blessed to be alive, to enjoy another day, to drink another cup of blessings.
It’s what I love about gardening, the hours spent quietly in the company of your own thoughts – the stillness of the moment, the silence of the hour, a therapeutic contemplation of the days gone by. Yesterday, it rained for a while and my rain lilies were happy. I smiled when I saw a few blooms while trimming the carabao grass. It is always a pleasant surprise to see something unexpected. It puts a smile on your face and the dogs think they are in for a treat. They are happy too when they roam around the garden and bark excitedly at every passersby that they see.
Rain lilies in bloom…
The last two days, I was engrossed reading two books. Still Life With Bread Crumbs by Anne Quindlen, my first time to try one of her books, a moving story, a journey into the life of a woman, her mind, her dreams, her career. It’s an e-book and e-books are sometimes hard to read. I read another fiction book , one of my stash from Books for Less. Imagine the joy of not expecting something lovely but it gives you more than that, a feeling of joy because you found a treasure. Blessings! I would like to thank my good friend Pete Johnson for including my blog in his list and wrote an inspiring paragraph about it. Visit his blog here. It’s a lovely and inspiring read.
