my life & love ~ plain and simple

this year, I decided to try to find the Sacred in every single moment of my life. sometimes it is more difficult than others.. take the heat for instance.. yesterday was hot. stifling hot.. when it seems nothing is really alive, it is just existing.. there does not seem to be any energy anywhere.. the birds are still, plants droop.

and people .. well they cope in whatever way they can.. (I don't like having my photo taken.. .. and I really don't like the photo of me above..I nearly deleted it.. but it is me.. pure and simple. I do not look like Michelle Pfeiffer, no matter how much I wish I did & I don't have God to thank for my jowls, I have my grandmother & my nose ~ from my Cornish grandfather)

I could not even face cooking dinner so Dutch husband and I decided to pack a bottle of wine, two glasses and a blanket and go to Katoomba, buy a take~away pizza and go for an impromtu picnic at Echo Point..

and that is where I found the sacred yesterday:

THIS is what my life is all about

I love impromptu outings! Takeaway pizza and some wine in a nice setting...perfect! Btw, I think you look lovely! I like the changes you have made to your blog and your goal for this year. We were only talking about finding the extraordinary in ordinary things on another blog too. I think this practice can only draw more positive things into our lives.

I don't look like Michelle Pfeiffer either -- thank Goddess! She's too skinny! I like women who look like . . . themselves!

Lovely. As you open to all the possibilities, a simple solution presents itself.

It's when your not looking that it the joy happens I think.

You might not be Michelle Pfeiffer, but she ain't you, and you are beautiful! I am so glad you took us along on your picnic; and that it provided such a beautiful and loving break for you. :)
