The Habit of Light

The Habit of Light

In the early evening she liked to switch on the lamps in corners, on low tables, to show off her brass, her polished furniture, her silver and glass. At dawn she'd draw all the curtains back for a glimpse of the cloud-lit sea. Her oak floors flickered in an opulence of beeswax and light. In the kitchen, saucepans danced their lids,
the kettle purred on the Aga, supper on its breath
and the buttery melt of a pie,

This recipe is so darn quick and easy it is hard to beat.
I only made one change and that is a "Flexible Measurement".

So You had a bad day......

Security Guard Stabbed at Private Oceanside Park. That is the headline.

My little park with the ocean view with misty golden sunsets. The place where so many of us walk our dogs and count the bunnies munching on the soft green grass. A family of hawks lives in the pines above and soar overhead calling to each other.

Bright yellow butterflies dancing on the whisp of a breeze between the brilliant hot pink bougainvillea and cool white oleander. Park benches dedicated to long passed residents who earned memorial for their service to our little community.

At the stoney eastern end, cairns piled to mark someone's moment of being present in this quiet oasis.
I would often go there with the babies to reset my soul after a particularly rough day at the office. And just this day, I was throwing quite a gala pity-party; orders not shipped on time, others shipping too soon, lost boxes in the black hole between the warehouse and the FedEx truck, bank balances way too low and how the …
