Our authenticity is found hidden in the small details of our daily round. We think that it is the big moments that define our lives. But really these big moments of happiness are just the punctuation marks. The narrative is written every day in the small and simple
Sarah Ban Breathnach
Frosty minus four nights that leave their sparkling footprints in the morning shadows
Breathing clouds of frost as I step through the crunchy, ice covered yard to greet and feed the girls each morning
Vistas of snow laden mountains
Morning light and swollen buds, pale blue wintry skies and bright, clear sunlight
Garden colour...violets and lace
Her table decorations... weeds... but bunches of sunshine nonetheless
Her nearly seven year old self asking for " a box of sunshine " for her birthday
Heavily laden citrus bringing sunshine to the yard with the lengthening days
Listening to Cannot Buy My Soul
Taking a little time for slowing down and enjoying some Winter hibernation
Being surrounded by Winter stillness
Eating heartily
Loving this season Winter
