Becoming

Mmm, I give thanks for a just right cup of tea this morning! And for the beautiful moon last night. I give thanks for knowing it's the same old moon that it always is, just seen from a new angle and in a light...but also that also it is a totally different moon all the time. That it is, as is everything else, in a constant state of becoming...

I give thanks that I've wrestled my duvet out of the storage space under the stairs, into a cover and onto my bed so that I can sleep with the window open again without being kept awake by the chattering of my teeth! I also give thanks for a bundle of new earplugs to sample, particularly useful at this time of the months when the local loonies tend to noisily search for the little bit of plot they think they might have!

I give thanks for some lush and lovely winter fabrics speedily delivered from Ralston Fabrics, to Laura for her parcel processing services and for the little miracle that is ebay!

I give thanks for the fine and friendly people in the shops and businesses around here who oil the wheels of the daily grind with a smile and a natter and a chuckle.

Gratitude too for a rather moving programme last night about a number women in their seventies, eighties and nineties who are not going gently into anything thank you very much. Very inspirational! For a physically rejuvenating acupuncture session and some astonishingly delicious and very reasonably priced chocolate truffles currently on sale in Smiths. Buy now to avoid disappointment ie. before I clear the shelves of every box!
