A Little Less Talking

I've been finding myself a bit tongue tied lately, 

hence the quietness of my blog site

I think I feel a little overwhelmed by all the outside noise

and have been trying to quiet my world down a little

 Selective listening,

Rather than me talking - a huge task for those who know me -

Listen to the kids at school while we cook,

Listen to Amber's needs while learning to run her cafe,

Listen to what people hope for in a quilting class

 ( I teach my first one next weekend)

Listen to my body and spirit while making all these changes.

And then there is the bliss of my life on this wonderful island;

A day at Lily's, open as the Sassy Pumpkin, seeing many faces I have missed

Renee walking into the kitchen in the late afternoon with the best

bouquet ever!  This beautiful head of cauliflower, roots and all,

given to her by a dear friend from her garden

The autumn light and my colorful late lunch,

all jewels from my own backyard 

And the way the late afternoon sun pools in these

rooms I have so graciously been allowed to

call my own for now

Turn off the noise for a moment

and listen to the beautiful murmurs of life around you

I am so grateful

Enjoy your day
