Focus on the Stars


Sometimes I just need to focus on those things I love.
Teatime and flowers are often in my circle of loves.
This week there were opportunities for both and a little bit more.


I even visited the grand opening of a favorite chocolate shop. They have opened a shop and education room to celebrate chocolate at their factory. Their chocolate all comes from one estate in Ecuador. 


Then on another day I celebrated the start of the day with fruit, scones and tea.


My tea bush on the patio is beginning to bloom.


And then I visited the Lan Su Chinese Gardens where my friend, Eric, was doing a tea tasting. It was fun to sit for an hour and sip tea with Eric and others at the table.


Pomegranates growing in the garden.


And lotus too.


And just for fun, I had to toss in a teddy bear from the antique mall.


And a visit to the dahlia farm.


A bouquet brought home from the farm has delighted my week.


Sometimes we just have to take a break and enjoy those things that bring us JOY and light to our hearts because life can get heavy.

Hoping you have had a little JOY and light in your week.
On to a new week and searching out JOY and light.

Sending love,
Marilyn
