Yesterday’s winged watercolor attempt here.

“Nahhhht bad for a seh-connd try!” Thalia stages a photo op with aid of a freshly plucked weed.

Nia’s soft gaze surveys the room. Henny naps. Blueberry pie beckons from the countertop. A completed manuscript awaits its next step.

“Bone-a-friiii-d miracles!”

“— fide, not fried.” Nia corrects.

“… a Henny who disappeared chasing a flock turkeys on the trail came home… a pie crust flakier than a January blizzard calls for a fork… and our Loveletterist embraces adventures she never saw coming.” Cal inhales the scent of sizzling bacon. “Amazing what happens when we think in terms of can do…”

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.

Tal and I keyed in on almost the same thought... though my reaction was “Wow! What a do-over!” 👏🏼👏🏼

The rich, dark color of the soil on the weed’s roots astounds me. Years of mulching and soil building in flower beds me thinks.

Your description of what’s going on already today reminds me of listening to excellent choral music, or listening to a well rehearsed chamber orchestra. The components fit together splendidly.

Mr. Kingsley’s remark “... something to be enthusiastic about” suggested “relish.” To see if that was the fit I wanted, yes, Google. The first demonstration of its use read: She enjoyed a long sip of wine with relish! Hmmm? A rather odd combination...

I do agree more with Mr. Kingsley than Google. Enthusiasm is contagious! Displaying our enthusiasm can affect our dog’s energy for going on a walk (I’m not breathing a single word about turkeys) or chance encounters with a dear friend while grocery shopping. Or co-leading a Gratitude Spaces gathering. That, I’d suggest, works in a feedback loop, furthering our enthusiasm! Worth the risk! Forego the relish. 🙃
