| Nature on Cape Ann MA is always filled with joyful delights for Share the Joy Thursday link. Being healthier each day is giving me much bliss. Having ArtMuse Dog keeping me company on the couch, helped bring joy despite not feeling well. My great friends Chris and Dave made homemade chicken soup to help each day. Glad to be out walking with my Yorkie again. There is joy all around us ~ the sacred in the ordinary ~ what brings you joy today? |

I am finding joy in cleaning out the last remnants of the past 30 years and getting ready to move my studio... home. Some is sad, but such freedom and lightness in letting go I am in wonder at the feeling in my heart. Thank you Carol. Hope the beauty you see makes you stronger and stronger. Pat the pup for me!
