Reality: "A Good Thing"





Since returning to our "zone" (AKA *home*) little bits of absolute truth have been striking me at every turn.
#1. My cat did miss me; she's hardly left my side--she's watching me type as we speak.
#2. Reconnecting with family and friends means that plans are in the works for upcoming visits and over-nighters here at our "inn".
#3. The apple blossoms (note the pics, esp. the one with the dewdrops) are even sweeter on our front lawn than they've ever been!
#4. Seeing the *view* from our bedroom (pic with gorgeous sky and blossoms) is an absolute gift from God, and having coffee on the deck outside the garden door is another bonus that I will not ever take for granted again!
#5. Breakfast at our table, surrounded by windows that allow us to observe all living things, in techni-colour, is the best way to start any day.
#6. The space we have here, inside and out, is another gift from God, and oh how I appreciate being able to spend time in many corners, instead of just the passenger seat in the car (Grin).

If you've been away from your home for any length of time, I'm positive you know exactly what I'm talking about. The task of weeding (which I generally detest--okay, I realize the *wonder of it may wear off soon--grin) has even been enjoyable today, in the light rain that's been falling.

I'm looking forward to (hopefully) spending time with my son and his family this weekend. I will have new memories for my treasure chest, and pictures of my grandson in our home for the first time. Nothing could be sweeter than that!

God is so good! May he bless you and "yours" today. Till the next time on "Bits & Pieces", Barb
