WEEKENDING

Happiness cannot be traveled to,
 owned, earned, worn or consumed.
 Happiness is the spiritual experience
of living every minute with love,
 grace and gratitude.

~Denis Waitley

This weekend has been one
of happiness and thankful
gratitude for...

::a son's longtime girlfriend unhurt
in a car wreck

::chanterelle mushrooms at the
farmer's market

::playing at the waterfront park
with my daughter and granddaughter,
browsing the downtown shops, laughing,
a great girl's day

::finding the perfect gift to add
to my state swap box

::almost finishing my kerchief despite
having to rip out almost all of it
because I failed to notice a dropped
stitch

:: enough ripe blueberries to make
a creamy blueberry pie for a nineteen
year old son who loves it

:: being able to stay awake to see
Hatfields & McCoys despite how sad
the whole thing made me feel

:: eating fresh ice cold watermelon

:: looking forward to a trip to the
locally owned bookstore with my
eldest son who I don't see enough
of because of work

:: and perfect weather with no
rain in the forecast
