Happy birthday to your mom.
I added up last night how old my mother would be. Dec. 4th it would have been 82. Wow.
Now, Thai food for a troubled tummy??
And here I am drinking juices and eating gentle foods! 🙂

Simple but elegant. Nobody will ever love you like your mama. If you are any indication I’ll bet she was a treasure.

I love this composition–green is quite a comforting color too. I do so enjoy your daily gratitudes. It’s a splendid idea.

Thank you, pp – some days, it takes work to find gratitudes, even though I know they are always abundant.

“Little leaf tornadoes” – I don’ see them very often, but when I do they seem to be little gifts of wonder from the universe…
I’ve never been to Hawaii – it look so lush and inviting… And the Rumi quote is perfect!

:-), Barbara. Hawaii had more diversity of landscape than any islands I’ve ever been too – although it was probably the largest island I’ve ever been too, so that could have something to do with it. It was gorgeous, and I’m grateful that I had the chance to go.
