Secret Ingredient

~

– feeling the warmth of early spring sun
– wandering through old growth forests
– seeing the sunset into the pacific
– breathing in the fragrance of summer
– seeing joy in another’s eyes
– hearing my grandson’s laughter
– being breath-taken by art
– being dazzled by autumn’s palette
– tasting the richness of chocolate
– being immersed in the rhythms of music
– feeling the softness of my lover’s lips
– seeing the morning dew sparkle
– hearing the sweet lilt of a thrush
– knowing the quiet of snowfall
– raising my voice in song
– drifting on a clear mountain lake
– getting lost in poetry
– feeling my lover’s gentle touch

these are some ingredients
of my wonderful life

…my secret ingredient:

  • being thankful!

    1. A list of wonderful ingredients, Rob. My favourites are ‘ hearing my grandson’s laughter’ and ‘getting lost in poetry’ and being thankful is a perfect secret ingredient. 🙂

      1. Yes Kim, hearing Alex (my grandson) laugh so thoroughly, and so innocently, and with such pure and genuine “Joie de vivre”, sometimes puts tears of joy in my eyes – and it is the primary reason this failing 71-year-old heart continues to beat! 🙂

      1. We never know Lillian, when it might be our last day, so tell your loved ones “I love you” once a day, and be genuinely mindfully grateful for the gift of life.
