My Mind is a jumble


Thoughts are scrambled and sluggish this morning after a restless night. Sophie was the one who was restless and woke me several times to lift her on and off the bed. Should have just taken her outside because this morning I saw the elk herd (64 count) gathered in the pasture, no wonder she was wakeful.

Read my new Marchella Hazen cookbook before falling asleep last night. So happily dreamt of pastas, and chocolate ganache topped moist cakes all through the night. Can't wait to try her simple, easy red pasta sauce. Simple as simmering a can of best quality tomatoes with an onion only peeled and split, not chopped, for about 45 minutes, then a swish of butter and ready for dressing the pasta of my choice.

Think maybe the best way to start the day is with a list of ILove .....and end the day with I am Thankful for ....

Today some items on my Love List would be...
  • To cook. Love standing in front of the stove stirring a pot of Risotto to the perfect creamy finish.
  • The teachings of Eckhart Tolle that with such simple clarity lead to learning to love and appreciate all that is, just as it is.
  • The smell of spring that brings the pomise of renewal.
  • The gift of constant curiosity and eagerness to learn new things.
