Thankful {things I love} Thursday ...

for my ears

the fabulous Annie Lennox 

for my eyes

fresh spotted buds on the honeysuckle vine

for my mouth

early morning baking ~ today it's cornbread and raisin scones

yesterday it was homemade pizza 

my daughter and grandson have a Zoom cooking show once a week :-D  ~ just one of the things we do to all keep in touch. Yesterday,  I  {La La} had a guest appearance! So much fun … and all 3 pizzas looked delicious! 

Mine had mushrooms, green and black olives, sliced onions and red and yellow peppers

Light a candle

Say a prayer

Send good thoughts and positivity

to the world out there

for my soul

Our pond was opened up last weekend

I have a little meditation spot here at the bottom of the garden, next to the pond.

Above me a lovely old tree and a smaller, 30 year old  flowering pear.

I will often have tiny white petals that have sprinkled on my shoulders when I finish my meditation.

I can hear the birds singing.

Once, I had one of our garden rabbits sitting beside me when I opened my eyes ~ bliss

for my feet

a walk through the garden

the only colour at the moment comes from the wild violets that are filling out beautifully 

I'm finding patches of them all over the garden

for my hands

walking around the garden with my camera gives me a sense of calm.

It helps to put things into perspective during these unsettling times … 

no matter what is going on, I have control over my own little space - filling it with music, candlelight, home cooked, nutritional meals, what I choose to watch and listen to  ~I've been watching some wonderful live videos on IG during the week such as : From the Garden Shed , Tuesdays at 5pm our time.  Catherine owns and runs a wonderful lavender farm in B.C. and has lots of gardening tips and Zoe Bakes on Saturday at noon, our time.  Zoe does a fabulous cooking segment on her IG account.

 I receive a daily email from The Daily Good that's filled with positivity (and wonderful quotes)

like the one below

Now is the time

to sit in the present

to dream of the future

and to learn from the past

~The Daily Good~

reflecting on the week … thinking about the weekend on this Thankful Thursday.

Have a wonderful day!
