thank you.
a few delightful, kind, creative, spirited souls have awarded me with the "you make my day" award that has been floating around blog world for a few weeks now.
thank you.
today, i invite you over for tea and lemon cupcakes.
i invite you, yes, you sitting there still in your pajamas
and you wearing your long dark hair in two braids
and you taking a break from painting and taking photos and creating
and you warming up from fun in the snow with your children
and you curled up with your puppy beside you
and you drinking mint tea
and you laughing out loud
and you awake after everyone else is asleep
and you singing softly with bill withers
and you pursing your lips
and you rolling your eyes
and you fingering the hem of your favorite yellow t-shirt
and you looking out the window at the mountains before you
and you living to the south enjoying the smell of fresh flowers
and you living north underneath three quilts in your flannel nightgown
and you on the other coast making this year the year
and you across the ocean sitting quietly and hoping
and you across the other sea changing the world
and you sitting in the sunshine of summer
and you wearing your grey fingerless mitts trying to stay warm
and you doing the best you can
and you wishing for change
and you feeling lonely
and you filled with regret
and you sitting in the quiet
and you tuning out the loudness of joy around you
and you full of peace
and you, yes, you reading these words…
please join me for tea…
because you, yes, you…
you make my day
full
of
all
that
is
good
(thank you)

Hello Liz,
just thought you should know, that when I first read this entry, I was
sitting there still in my pajamas, with my long dark hair in braids, taking a break from writing my book, under three quilts because I live in Norway, drinking tea, cinnamon, not mint, across an ocean, changing my world, doing the best I could (well, before the break), and yes, laughing out loud, too, because it suddenly seemed you had a window to my room.
and you...make my heart jump an extra beat for just being so cute! and inviting! And alive! xx
thank you for this invitation...it's one i needed...how i wish i really could take you up on your offer...i would love a little girl talk...maybe a few days of girl talk...talk with another compassionate soul that gets me...that would be utterly delightful...
your words invited me to relax with
my chai and dream a little dream....
