Little Things


The fog has thickened.  Sore throats, achy bodies and stomach flu have taken up unwelcome residence.

In the midst of it all, I am praying and finding little things to celebrate:

1.  This, too, shall pass.

2.  My second son is making his first reconciliation today.  What a gift!

3.  "Only Mommy can make me feel better." Precious words from my two year old this morning.

4.  Hot coffee.

5. Mommy gets to take a sick day too ~ a rarity ~ but in a way a treat.

6.  It's the weekend.  There is time for recovery.

7.  Your prayers.  Thank you.

Now I invite you to leave a comment (or a link to your blog) and share a few of your "little things" today.

    A First Reconciliation today! What a blessing! Thomas, my second son, had his in December.

    Thank you both. Your prayers have truly helped. My two year old is much much better and the 1st reconciliation was wonderful. He has been especially kind today! ;)

    Misty, I hope you are all feeling better! Saying a prayer for you right now. My little thought is, "Mommy, I love you!" said about fifty times today, accompanied by hugs. Doesn't get better than that!

    Congratulations to your son! Will he be receiving First Holy Communion very soon? Little things? It's our first day of the new school year and my 9 year old said, "I had a great day, Mum. I love learning new things." So encouraging. God bless, Misty.

Locally Grown {stuffed green peppers recipe}

  Last weekend we took the whole family to a nearby produce stand.  We were craving something that tasted fresh from the garden and since I don't have my own garden, we found this place.     The fields were full of fall-colored flowered.  Can't wait for those cooler days to come.         But for now, we are reveling in the height of summer sunshine and produce.       It's easy to go overboard here and buy much more than you can use in the next few days.  I don't even like okra but they look so inviting in those cute blue crates.     These tomatoes inspired a caprese salad for lunch: tomato slices cut into quarters, hunks of fresh mozzarella, snipped basil leaves, salt, pepper and drizzles of olive oil and red wine vinegar.       These strawberries wound up being dunked in Silky Chocolate Fondue .       Every girl dreams of doing her shopping with one of these adorable woven b...

Saturday Surfing {favorite spots from around the web}

Saturdays are the perfect time for a little aimless web-wandering and here are few of my recent reads I'd like to recommend to you. The Wild Surrender of Motherhood by Carrie Ann Moss @Annapurna Living This new website launched this week and is absolutely lovely. Remember Carrie Ann Moss from the Matrix movies? Well she is now the founder and inspiration behind this blog.  Here is an excerpt of her vision for annapurnaliving.com : FROM CARRIE-ANNE ... “To see womanhood through eyes of grace.”  My desire is to live in a world where nourishment is valued. I believe a nourished family will lead to a nourished world. I believe life is beautiful and that our divine purpose in this world is to nurture the earth by respecting it and being grateful for what it provides us. My wish is to inspire others to create beautiful, honest and satisfying lives. My Other Ex: Women's True Stories of Leaving and Losing Friends   @A Design So Vast Unfortunately, over the pa...

Petals :: 52 Photos Project

Where I live the Bradford Pears have bloomed and blown and the Cherry Blossoms are in full blossom.  Even though that means our allergy season is now officially underway, I cannot help opening our windows every morning in hopes of hearing the birds singing to greet the day.  Springtime has conveniently coincided with my personal recovery process from knee surgery.  As I am slowly re-gaining mobility on crutches it seems an added encouragement that the weather is also improving and the trees are welcoming my return with their flowers. What a treat it would be to be able to put down my crutches in time for Easter Sunday and walk again on my own! (I am doubtful but one can hope.) Sharing with 52 Photos Project :: Petals
