Life at the Wee Cottage in the Woods.....Our memories can be a garden of delight as well as a garden of pain. Some days we walk through this garden and stop and enjoy those memories that bring us joy...that bring a smile to our hearts. Some days we pause at those moments that are painful...at the memories of things that have hurt us. Together these memories make up the tapestry of our life woven in rich colors as well as subdued colors. The overall effect is of who we are in this journey of life.
The purpose of this blog is to capture the garden of my life with photographs, inspirational quotes, stories of life, recipes of friends and family shared, and my own thoughts. This site is my legacy in my words and photos............. |

Mindfulness
I am fully present.
Tuesday, January 26, 2021
Concentration can feel elusive when too many things tug on my attention at once. When I feel scattered, it’s difficult to perform any task to completion, time is always bearing down, and I feel tense and unhappy.
Today I resolve to make a new choice. I focus my attention wholeheartedly and mindfully. I begin by immersing myself in the deep colors of a velvety sunrise. I draw the fresh morning air into my lungs and exhale fully. I nourish myself with healthy food and slowly savor each bite.
As I give my fullest attention to my tasks, errands, and conversations, time expands. I feel myself relax into the flow that comes from being fully present. Mindfulness sets me free.
Then pay attention to how you listen; for to those who have, more will be given; and from those who do not have, even what they seem to have will be taken away.—Luke 8:18
