A piece of quiet...

In the morning, when kiddos are off to their individual journeys for the day; I find myself sitting with my cuppa in quiet contemplation.

Sitting peacefully in the moment enjoying the now.

 Peace and quiet...

I've always felt the saying should be a piece of quiet.

A time for peace and sitting in the quiet to hear your own thoughts.

It's not always been easy for me to enjoy the now with the "what's next" to accomplish on my list.

I find this time of quiet reflection grounding.

Helping me gather my thoughts, myself for the "what's next".

There will always be a lengthy list of expectations,

of the "things" I "need" to get done.

There will always be a hustle and bustle to the world around us.

Take time to sit and contemplate alone with your cuppa,

or with your dear ones.

Wake up earlier to carve out time for your kids to sit in calm,

quiet reflection before they start their day.

There is so much to be said for this grounding and hygge activity:)

Our poem today...

Brew me a cup for a winter's night.
For the wind howls loud and the furies fight;
Spice it with love and stir it with care,
And I'll toast our bright eyes,
my sweetheart fair.
~ Minna Thomas Antrim

 

Displaying words for comfort and inspiration,

is a beautiful way to gather thoughts for reflection.

They were written and photographed by the lovely

Susan Gaylord and hung in her crab apple tree.

The kids and I love this inspiring tree and think the words should be hung on bunting for an interior display.

They enjoy revisiting past projects of meaning and cringe at the thought of their work being left out to the elements.

Have a blessed and wonderful day my friends.

It's a bright new morning of possibility♥
