Things I want to remember

* How incredible sandalwood incense smells when it mingles with the scent of brewing coffee

* Even when the clouds cover the sky, the sun is still shining above them

* The best emails contain photos of my nephew

* Creativity is a never-ending ride at the fun fair

* If I wear Tam Dao I’m instantly transported back to 2004 and his arms

* Sometimes the hunger is for love, not food

* Sometimes the hunger really is for food

* Right now, in this moment, I have everything I need.

    I love the second one! And it made me think of how I love to see life as a succession of waves. Every time I’m happy, I’m riding high and enjoying it. Every low moment, however, gives me hope next high wave is on its way :-)
    Tam Dao got to me. It’s amazing how intense emotions push their way through the words…like rays of sunshine through the trees.

    Images are so powerful too – your photo of Vinegar Hill took me right back to my year in Bath studying for a Masters a few years ago. Such a wonderful place to be a student, especially as spring is emerging. Thanks for dropping by my blog and posting your sweet message. Can’t wait to learn from you! Beth

    How beautiful. This list gives me such warm and cozy feelings, like I could just wrap myself up in all the beauty it describes.

    In those moments of darkness and despair, when I’ve fallen and can’t get up, the one thing I try to remember is “the sun is ALWAYS shining.” I love that. It makes my heart smile.

    The Heavy Thing continues its relentless invasion of my serenity. A list like this helps me remember … that the Heavy Thing will eventually take a break.

    Remember, too, how many lives you have changed simply by being YOU.

    So true, and so telling~
    “Sometimes the hunger is for love, not food”
    Blew me away to see that in print…so accurate.
    The smells are fantastic to imagine~
    And as always…your images are a peaceful respite in the midst of my chaotic day.

    Oh my Vinegar Hill! That’s one of my fav shops in Brizzle. It’s just down the road from me. I have to walk past it all too often – its delicious goods enticing me through the doors.

    Just wanted to post a quick comment to say I always read your blog and love it!
    I’m curious, what sort of book are you writing?
