My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. LOVE-ly coffee.
2. Watching (spying on?) and documenting my Handsome Hubby, as he walks toward our little car heading to an appointment.
3. Spices! Robert and I love them.
Our spice drawer ..
Our spice shelf …
Our Spice Club! …
Once a month or so, our local library offers patrons a new spice, along with an explanation and several recipes. This month is a spice I have never heard about before: Summer Savory.
“Summer savory, Satureja hortensis, is a sweet- and spicy-smelling herb, lighter in flavor than winter savory. It is a member of the Lamiaceae, or mint family, and is indigenous to the Mediterranean region. It is also closely related to rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, and mar-joram. Summer savory had both culinary and medicinal uses in ancient Greece and Rome.” Bull Street Library Spice Club
4. The amazing ability to simply Pay Attention. (That trait is sometimes a bit of a challenge for me and my “all over the map” brain.)
5. I SO appreciate the theme of this year’s Pride Festival in Atlanta.
May we all have a weekend where, even on the most minute of levels, we Realize that we can Resist that which attempts to damage our lives.
