Five Friday Happy Bringers 3/14/25

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. A small twig of rosemary I snatched from a mature bush and placed on our car’s dash.

A tiny bit of natural beauty and heavenly aroma.

(It obviously doesn’t take much to make me happy.)

2. This photo from daughter Emily on our family text thread this week …

And her accompanying comment: “Just me and my tiny lap dog.”

My response: “Can you still breathe?”

Emily: “Breathing is overrated.”

3. Truth I saw displayed on a church in Macon, Georgia, where we were visiting last weekend.

4. The ability to (still) walk up and down stairs.

Robert and I live in a mid-19 century building with steep, tiny stairs.

5. Pine.

May you find much happiness this weekend. Or at least a little.

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 12/19/22

Definitely marveling this Monday morning.

Last night I made my rosemary spiced nuts for the holidays, and our apartment still smells incredible this morn.

South Georgia pecans and walnuts; a mixture of brown sugar, cayenne pepper and Kosher salt; finely chopped rosemary from my window herbs, and melted butter.

15 minutes later …

Deliciously marvelous holiday joy.
