It is a dreary day with hints of freezing rain . I had dressed in my usual slacks that are very practical for a "home day" of cleaning, laundry, etc. I now have on an ancient Laura Ashley ankle length skirt (you probably know the one!) and feel much better with the possibiities of this day. Yes I will get my chores done but with more joy and the addition of some of my more favorite pursuits also. Hope your day is blessed . Claudia After reading this post I changed my clothes!

Even if it is just one or two 'things you love'..... With Sunday's spring-like weather, I just couldn't resist doing a spring chore like weeding my herb garden. It was anything but work as my hands picked and pulled through the wonderful smells of blooming rosemary and overgrown sage. This was definitely one of those things 'that I love!' I knew there were other pressing things to do in the house but I couldn't resist the excuse to linger outside doing something just for me. And, isn't it that sweet desire He puts in us for the simple things that matter? You are so right Lanier! Even if it is just one or two ‘things you love’…..

I was about to venture to a past journal entry when...what a great surprise! I think I am even going to be the first to post a comment on this one :) I think it is funny how much our world has changed since the time when Miss Potter lived. Now, people are making conscious decisions to not get tied down with husbands and children until well into their 30's (or 40's...especially in Hollywood). However, I think you are right in saying that we are never too young to start reaping all the joy we can from every day we have.
