Better Than Good

It is that time of year again.

 I watch over and love three little grandbabies every day

while their Mommy teaches school.

We are busy all day long reading books, learning to count,

playing patty cakes and tap dancing.

Yes

 we really do tap dance!

I must admit around this time of the year after they go home to enjoy Mommy and DaDa

I have been just

following the rest of the evening wherever it leads me

and

resting in between.

It has been leading me to here

Light dinners enjoyed on the patio most often at twilight.

Isn't twilight beautiful?

Watering my garden after nightfall quietly listening to the magical night sounds

as

I pray for rain.

 Long, warm and bubbly soaks in the bath

Often
I  hear my very worn Shabby Chic sofa calling out to me.

As I settle down in the pillows in a room filled with the soft glow

of candlelight

with a glass of wine and listen to my old friend Eric Clapton sing to me

I know

 this year, this week and right this moment has been better than good.

a light dinner

 raindrops answered prayers

 twilight

soft light

Sometime we have to
be still
to truly understand what is really good in our life.
I hope your week was better than good too.
