tuesday morning

The house is empty and still, and today I am grateful for

::: early wintry mornings and bright new sun
::: velveteen slippers and peony-print pyjamas
::: hot water bottle and IKEA pillow
::: pomegranate tea and lemon curd toast
::: Mosiah, chapters 18 through 26
::: a silent hour to myself to finish Till We Have Faces

Joy silences me.

You are a beautiful person who leads a beautiful life.

Today I am grateful for: wheelchairs. And safe flights. I'm halfway home, sitting in the Sydney Airport Qantas business lounge (I feel like a fraud in my very non-businessy clothes). In 4 hours I'll be in Chch! Yay!

OH my word! I love that Christchurch is Chch! That's brilliant. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
