Focus on the Stars

 

“If you can’t run away to a cabin in the woods right now, start small. Make a cup of tea and find a sunset to watch. Turn off your phone and read a book in the bath. Go for a drive and blast some Stevie Nicks. Fight for moments of peace in the midst of the crazy. You can do that.”

— Brooke Hampton


This says to me to "focus on the stars". See the little glimmers. Even this morning I noticed the bubbles in my teacup when I poured a cup of tea. The bubbles made me smile. I noticed a fairy ring of mushrooms right outside my door. And again I imagined fairies dancing there as I slept and I smiled. 



I walked in a garden and again I smiled.

Sending peace and love to you this morning.

Smile, as you notice the little glimmers of hope and light.

Sending love,

Marilyn

I think I would enjoy spending some peaceful moments in a garden with you, perhaps sipping a cup of tea. I like the quote, it is a good life quote.

I like "start small." This is so peaceful and I love those pretty irises.

Some good suggestions, Marilyn. I would like to walk with you around your beautiful garden. It looks so peaceful over there. Linda P (a rich tapestry blog).

I smiled at your words today, Marilyn, because I do live in a small home (much like a cabin) in the woods. You reminded me to appreciate the environment more. And I love blasting to Stevie Nicks. Her songs bring back sweet times. How nice to have a garden near your home, so you can explore and walk around such a lovely place of peace.

Have a terrific week, Marilyn.
