Gratitude

981. A week away, full of sunshine and warmth

982. Beautiful kids who loved being away and were awfully good the whole time


 983. Finding joy by sharing the joy of our children

 984. A week to hang out with my sister-in-law, one of my oldest friends!

985. An easy work week for Dan to settle back into the routine after so much travel

986. When you think there's something weird going on in a friendship and worry, and then discover that everything is fine and the friendship is just evolving

987. Birds chirping in the bushes as if spring is on its way

988. Paying $500 less in car repairs than the initial quote

989. Date nights

990. Motivation

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate, my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Love 2



 Love is the passionate and abiding desire on the part of two people to produce together conditions under which each can be, and spontaneously express, his real self; to produce together an intellectual soil and emotional climate in which each can flourish, far superior to what either could achieve alone.
(Author Unknown)

Love


 "With the people I love the most I can sit in silence indefinitely. We need both for our full development; the joy of the sense of sound, and the equally great joy of its absence."
Madeleine L'Engle, A Circle of Quiet
