A Glimpse

There is so much positivity; so much beauty around. So many things have delighted me and made me fulfilled as of late. I am so fortunate.
Here are a few things, today- that have made me one happy little lady. Of course- there must be a quote and there must be a song. That be me, for ya.

"It is better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool
than to open it and resolve all doubt." 
This quote by Abraham Lincoln made me laugh out loud. What a smart, ingenious fella.

I heard this song on KFOG today and learned it is by Muse, one of my new older favorites. It's interesting to hear the concept of "saving someone" from a man. Women are so known for this that it's obnoxious. And over rated. Saving someone is impossible. I know someone who recently told me he's kind of that guy- very attracted to the walking wounded woman. This one's for you, amico (and it's just a crazy-sick joint!):

I planted some bulbs in my garden. The concept of planting these flowers now and the reaping their beauty in the summer thrills me. Like a package waiting to be opened but needing water and nurture before it can make it's true presence known. I loooooove gardening. I also planted some fresh herbs which I can't wait to chop up and use in cooking. I love to create: plants where there were none, food where there was also known. Creation is beauty.

Truly, I could go on and on and on of all the blessings I am feeling today. Peace, faith, health, spirituality, love, fulfillment...but I will close with this one. It's one I have noticed not only on the outside- in my home, and in my garden. But I have noticed it also on the inside of late. And thank God. Cuz things were getting pretty noisy in here.

Stillness. Less tv ... less obsessive mental chatter ... less worry ... less being said ... just more stillness.

Simple, pure, clear, stillness.
And Thank You God for that.
