We camped in a sheep's pasture and visited highland cattle! I had so much fun and hope I pass on that happiness to you in my latest video.

My geraniums are still putting forth a bit of lovely into these cold Winter days. I thought they would feel crunchy by now, but the petals are still soft to the touch and pliable. I consider them a bit offbeat in that something that is progressing towards death changes and yet still remains full of beauty at every stage along the way. I suppose it all in the perspective of the mind. I choose to see its beauty rather than resent the impending future.

One really special moment in the truck while heading down a country road in Pike County, Missouri, was when to the left of us the sunshine showed up and to the right of us dark rainclouds. I kept turning my head from right to left and back again. Wow! The two were colliding in front of us! It was truly an amazing scene which I am sure the video camera did not capture as our eyes saw it. We continued on and the road turned so that the sun was behind us and the rain was in front of us and it was even more magical! I had to stop in the road and soak in the moment! Wow! I stopped where the tree added to the framing of my video composure. It's the photographer in me that makes me do it. There were a few raindrops on the windshield, but it never did really rain. It was so wild how the bright sun was where we sat and on the road underneath the truck wheels and us, and then the sky was dark and ominious. What a contrast! I felt as if the sunshine was a spotlight on us while the drama of the world was passing us by. Then we drove to the end of the road and saw a rainbow! How sweet was that! Sometimes you just have to wait for the moments to show up, just like that! Just get out and go, and wait for it. GLIMMERS of JOY will present themself if you just let them. These micro-moments will last in your memory far longer than any you try to create for yourself. Stop trying so hard and just get out there and be. December 30, 2024

I love remembering about the trumpter swans and how they flew in twos and threes and then landed in quick succession with what became a familiar rhthem of “splash, splash” or “splash, splash, splash.” They never landed in unision, but in succession. And yet ironically in my mind, their succession of movement was also distinctly unified.

The weather is so perfect right now! I just want to sit in my garden and relax. I casually walked around and snipped some flowers, and tied them up in little groupings to hang them from an upside down three tiered tray. It took me so long to do that I only got one tier done, but it looks like a little bit of lovely. I inadvertently put my twine and scissors on another tier and thought to myself how nice it looked there. If this weather continues, I can casually grow my dried flower display.

It’s about the little things you know. I can’t say it enough. Sometimes we gift ourselves the little things that bring us joy. Sometimes it’s just opening our eyes to see the little things that bring us joy. The blue paint inside my futon table on the patio brings me joy. I like to leave the drawer open just a little bit to see the white paint next to the blue paint. I don’t know why it makes me happy, but every time I walk by it, my eye is pulled toward it, and I pause for a moment and appreciate that little thing. The shut drawer is like shutting out happiness. So why shut the drawer? Why even have stuff in the drawer? Maybe someday. Until then, simplicity rules.
