" Turning Over a New Leaf "

 Autumn to winter , winter to spring , Spring into summer , summer into fall - So rolls the changing year , and so we change : Motion so swift , we know not that we move .  -Dinah Mulock Craik

Our Mideast Feast ~

Today I cooked ! I got out my Mideast Feast Cookbook and began cooking ...I fixed Curry Chicken , Snow Peas and Couscous .  The house smells sooo good !  We are having doughnuts for desserts .....What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday  ~

January's Joy

Grace....It grows best in the winter - Samuel  Rytherford     I am going to enjoy the winter !  Was I out of my mind ? I realized that every year in January I began to wish the winter months away . So , this year I'm going to enjoy all the January's joys .  This month I'm looking for all the gifts of   "winter " that I've overlooked in the past .

White roses .  Today , I  got beautiful roses from my beloved with a note that said .....You are beautiful  ! This was a beautiful way to start the week ....

Tis a gift ~

" Tis a gift to be simple , Tis a gift to be free , Tis a gift to come down Where we ought to be And when we find ourselves In the place that's right Twill be in the valley Of love and delight .......Nineteenth- Century Shaker Hymn   I'm longing to realize what's really important to me . Simplifying my life is so agreeing with me .I'm realizing true simplicity is bountiful !
