find beauty in something everyday

today is the warm smell of bread in the kitchen,
and sunshine on the icicles on the clifts.

Snow fall.
Snow still on the ground.

The warm soft fur of my Bassett Hound.
Lying in bed for 4 hours when I feel bad.

Hot coffee at 4:30 am with a quiet talk with my husband.

My son’s vision, and humor.

The smell of homemade bread in my kitchen.

The soft fur of a kitten.

The warmth of my small dog against me as I type.

The delicate, lacy designs of the frosty blanket laid on this area last night.

Icicles hanging off the rock bluffs!

The clean fresh smell when the air is cold and brisk. The sunshine on a brisk day. The sun seems crisper, like light through lead crystal, as opposed to blown glass.

meeting a new person. the eyes of a stranger. the smile of a friend. someone who listened, properly.
