I used to read a lot of blogs but these days I only frequent two - Cup of Jo and SwissMiss. Today on Cup of Jo, she asks readers what makes you come alive? and ends with these words from wonderful Mary Oliver:
“Instructions for living a life.
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.”
It's a great prompt for a beautiful Wednesday morning. A few things off the top of my head:
- low humidity 70 degree days
- feeling understood
- ice cream
- a tranquil lake
- unexplored bookstores
- unexplored bookstores
- having a trip planned
- learning something new
- helping someone in need
- clean sheets
- a redemption story
- listening to a good interview
- J's cuddles and wonderful observations of the world around him (the other day as we were heading to school he said, "mama, i love when the birds are singing")

(on that note: a trip to Banff is booked for early July. Yippee!)
