august 20th - blessed




blessed, blest (chiefly poet), a.,
consecrated; revered; fortunate; in paradise (esp. the b); blissful 


Blessed with the little treasures in life:

Receiving a message from a far off land in a different time zone: just letting you know I’ve arrived safely. 

Porridge with fresh fruit and cinnamon in the morning. Oh porridge. Oh you delightful food specimen. 

A brisk walk on a crisp night.
All my brothers under the one roof.
Fresh air. 

The sound of a dear friend laughing with you and loving life. 

The unexpected connections made that bring you closer to who you are.
Catties, especially the ones that wake you up with a paw-tap on the nose.

A good old fashioned, no fuss, just-get-down-and-do-it floor roll exercise to get your muscles nice and ready to tackle the day. 

Your best friend saying: I wish you were here.
Your best friend saying: I wish I was there. 

Hand-me-down jumpers with make shift holes for your thumbs.
Aztec patterned jeans. Rad.i.cal.

Realising you’ve become stronger than you were expecting and more determined than you thought.  

The peace attained by letting go.

The happiness achieved by staying true. 

The bliss found by taking one precious moment to see what is really there.

Truly and utterly, lovingly and humbly: blessed. 

LOVE & SUCH
