Bless Her Heart

30 Days with a Grateful Heart ~ Day 3

Day 3 ~ The miles. The miles that have kept the mind monkeys at bay, reminding me that my body is still steady and strong (albeit slow), and that it's true that so much of life draws directly from the rhythm of the breath.

Day 2 ~ Our new, centrally located, public library. I teared up the first time I visited. It is truly a thing of beauty for all of the residents of our fair city. I guess that's a perk of growing bigger...we're 'growing up' a bit too. <3

30 Days with a Grateful Heart ~ Day 1

Day 1 ~ The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry

When despair grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting for their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
