friday.

a quiet morning.

sashi sitting beside me waiting for licks of my spirulina and essential fatty acid oil.

a gentle afternoon.

such a wonderful surprise visit at work from my friend laurabeautifulangeltallestsentinelwhitedove...and a much needed hug.

the lovely comments left by healingstones in the uk.

plenty of water to drink when i was dehydrated and did not feel well.

that i feel better.

the patron who had so many questions on the phone who reminded me that the best part of my job is being able to make a difference in someone's life.

tori...who was so helpful on the phone when i called to price insurance for a new vehicle...he was genuinely nice.

the afternoon rain.

the incredible dark wall of clouds through which the streaming sun came down like a tower.

the most thoughtful letter that arrived in the mail...full of cherished treasures.

a beautiful evening puja acknowledging the eclipse with pema in the garden.

hanging new prayer flags on the eclipse.

that pema sat near me and wandered in the garden without attempting to run off like the scamp, ragamuffin cat she's been known to be.

my grandfather's meerschaum pipe and cavendish.

the wholly breathtaking surprise delivery from the UPS man...and the wonder and gift of the most beautiful orchids.

the amazing first experience of someone having sent me flowers.

that the envelope and box were addressed to [zen] jen.

laughing.

coconut italian ice.

that my kitters come running for their personal taste of coconut italian ice.

that i feel everything is coming together just as it should.

that i trust that the recent unforeseen turn of events...having lost my car, lung ta...will ultimately result in directing me exactly where i need to go in order to live my best life.

that God has always taken care of me...even when i was without a home...that i know nothing is too big or beyond Him.
