one thing about the pink house is that it doesn't have good insulation,
so this morning my feet were icicles.
so i turned on a space heater,
which is still keeping me warm,
even though its seventy four degrees outside,
it feels like its FORTY IN HERE.
but as i was sitting warming my feet as i wrote out my morning pages*,
i saw this table in front of me and loved it.
so here you go----------------------

* anticipating the question... what ARE morning pages?
they are stream-of-conscious journal entries.
three pages of whatever comes to mind,
so you can get it out and acknowledge it.
three pages of YOU.
what's in you, what you dream about, what you're mad about, what you feel, what you think, what you wish for. they've helped me clear my mind and access things i didn't know were in me. like the desire to dance, like the desire to swim.
so.... its been great. its part of my morning ritual, which also includes coffee.

Ah--I can't tell which i love more, the fuzzy leaves that seem to glow... or the bird peeking out of the awesome branches in the taller vase. The fuzzy "glow" around the leaves gives me the impression that they absolutely love being what they are--that they love God--that everything in them shouts joy.
(by way of intro, i found myself here while checking out MKR's blog. Now i make sure to check every so often... your cheery posts brighten my day. )
