Filling a Cup Under a Waterfall

First Monday counting...when I share entries from my gratitude journal


"Experiencing the present purely is being emptied and hollow;
you catch grace as a man fills his cup under a waterfall."
Annie Dillard
walking on the beach with Lynette
shrimp and grits
walking tour in Charleston
fried green tomatoes
oil and vinegar store
dinner at Husk
walking the Ravenal Bridge
time spent in the temple
juicy red grapefruit
money to pay the bills
a full refrigerator
fresh eggs from Tara
new Chatbooks
when Mark makes me laugh
Saturday morning pancakes
a clean desk
hiking with friends
 trying out a new restaurant
icicles and waterfalls
pizza stashed in the freezer for a quick dinner
bins of fabric
an enthusiastic teacher

a down jacket
a reliable car
woodpecker vibrating the trees
pruned blueberries
a first quilt square
roses from my sweetheart
new pens and a pad for practice
fresh bread from the oven

snowflakes on my face
lunch under a waterfall
powdered sugar snow on green leaves
conversation
a circle of friends sipping hot beverages

a warm home on an icy day
the smell of bacon frying in the pan
candlelight dinner
paper hearts on the mirror
clean floors
sunshine
hamburger buns cooling on racks
cutting fabric into small pieces
laughing at lemurs
