French Tea Garden by Childe Hassam
Bread and water can so easily be toast and tea.

Simple things turn into special things...
Water and Epsom salts turn into a healthy, relaxing bath.
Paper and pen turn into a letter to a friend.
Paper and crayons turn into art.
Words and a tune turn into a cheery song.
Fruit and sugar turn into jam for scones.
Needle, thread and calico turn into a patchwork quilt.
Knitting needles and yarn turn into cozy slippers.
Water and cold air turn into frosty crystals.
Water and cold air turn into frosty crystals.
A hug and kiss turn into balm for the soul.
Can you think of more?
As I was wrapping my cold arms in my "butterfly wing" shawl this morning, I thought about how the squishy yarn turned into such a comfort. My long walk on the path (with my girl and her three girls!) turned into a deep and needed Saturday afternoon nap! The delicious pork loin I served for dinner last night made the most fantastic gravy for our mashed potatoes. I'm always so proud of myself when I "pull off" a good gravy! I had toast and Irish cheese for breakfast and now I shall turn water to tea. I love your heart and your bright mind, Jody!

Holding hefty ceramic mug filled to the brim with hot black coffee & sitting in my favorite morning chair with my Bible makes that little corner a Holy place
