Optimism

Each day begins, 

unfolding like a mystery.

Our job is to be present,

to watch and observe,

and join in wherever we can ... making it the best we can.

Yesterday was a day filled with hope.  No matter your race, your creed, your religion, your politics- yesterday marked a new beginning.  

 

May we all join together in praying for a better world.  May we be like these precious animals... celebrating our "sameness" in spite of our differences and living together in harmony.

May we all work together to spread love in this world, where it is so badly needed.  

I am praying that vaccines get distributed with expedience, so that we can all get back to hugging those we love!

After looking through photos of last summer's color, I was in the mood for a taste of summer... a remembrance of what was and what is to come.

 I had frozen lots of raspberries - both wild and garden berries - so I took two bags of berries from the freezer and cooked them with a little sugar...

fresh raspberry jam! 

 With seeds, because I have a hubby who loves texture!  I need to make some multi-grain bread for this jam.  (Rosemary bread and raspberry jam just doesn't sound great to me!)
