In keeping with yesterday's post,

Hilton Head Island, summer 2002

I received this in my Inbox today from Word of the Day:


Grant me daily the grace of gratitude,
to be thankful for all my many gifts,
and so be freed from artificial needs,
that I might lead a joyful,
simple
life.

-- Edward Hays:  A Book of Wonders

    Easier said than done. But something, yes, to always strive for.
    And by the way- what a gorgeous picture!

    i have missed you so. my life has been a whirlwind of details wrapping up the shrine project. finally it is humming along...slowing down, coming to a close.

    and during these two weeks of focus...i have missed you. drinking you in. writing a response...being "with you"...how wonderful to resurface and "see" your young family.

    and treasure this moment so memory filled.

    fondly,
    rebecca
