My husband always tells me that when I’m in the midst of sorrow to look for something joyful. This was blooming — first time ever — in my goldfish pond this morning.
I am sure that whenever I see one of these beautiful blooms now I’ll think of my friend.
The funeral is this afternoon.

My playlist is still here! It's just not set to autoplay. So those of you who love listening to beautiful music while you read, go all the way to the bottom of the page and click the play button.
I am a 40-something-year-old mother of four delightful children, have been married for 22 years to my carpenter husband, and live in a 1921 farm-style house. I find the most joy in my garden, growing and harvesting herbs and flowers and caring for our delightful bunnies.
I have a 21-year-old son, an 18-year-old son, a 15-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly (and very funny) 11-year-old daughter who is homeschooled.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I'm a book lover, bird lover, gardener and aspiring herbalist. I seek no help for my thrift store addiction. I do medical transcription from home part-time.
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

Oh those are lovely. I think it takes a special soul to be able to spot the truly beautiful things that are out there especially at a time like this.
