Meaningful Words

From the kitchen…

 Coffee in a bright red cup. Tulips in a glass milk jug. Three silver pans stacked up by the sink. A teapot just cooled, honey and a spoon resting on the counter together. A loaf of bread still open. Today I like short sentences. Today I like word pictures. Today I like a few words grouped together and a period at the end. Today I like coffee in a bright red cup.

I’m reading…

Resting beside me on the table top, lying open, just as I left it when I set it down to come write this is “Jane of Lantern Hill.”  Yes, another L. M. Montgomery. What can I say? I don’t think I’ve read a book of hers that I haven’t loved, more than loved. You can just slip into their pages, find yourself walking in Avonlea, feeling the soft PEI breeze whisking past you and clutch your daisies as you skip through the tall grass. Of all the places in the world Prince Edward Island is still one of the ones I want to visit the very most. It used to be the place I wanted to go to the very most, with other places coming as follow-ups, but now it’s positioning has shifted to “one of the most.” You see, I would like to go to Australia more now, but the idea of Prince Edward Island still has all it’s magic. The idea still gives me prickly feelings as L. M. Montgomery’s words of description come back to me. There’s just something so enchanting about the idea of walking in the fields where Ann walked. Now, don’t anybody tell me Ann isn’t real, because I just won’t believe you. Of course Ann is real, and of course she walked in those fields of tall grass, and ran down by the shore, and of course her laughter still rings in the air, because that is Prince Edward Island.

I’m wearing…

Today I am staying home all day and wearing whatever I like, as can be told by my horrendously clashing pink and yellow strip dress and purple and blue striped socks. With a fancy white shrug sweater as the whip cream of my horrendously clashing attire.  

A quote I’m contemplating…

 "The secret of happiness is to live moment by moment and to thank God for all that He, in His goodness, sends to us day after day."
~Saint Gianna Beretta Molla

 And I rather liked this one…

 People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

 I’ve never heard of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross before, I wonder if she’s an author? Anyways, I liked this quote.

 I’m creating…

 Right now I’m working on creating a letter for a dear friend. I do like letters, writing them and receiving them. It just makes me happy.

 I’m thinking…

 I still need to write up all the pages and pages of journaling pages and things that I wrote up in my notebook while I was away at Christendom, I think I have a few stories written up by hand that I need to type up, that is if I still like them when I come to typing them. That’s the thing about writing, by the time you come to typing it all up your views often change so it never seems to come out just like you had written it before.
