on this Sabbath day, thinking that "Holiness is the strength of the soul. & we gain it by obedience to the laws of God"

brightly lit, the day

{textures in photos 2 & 6 from boccacino's set on flickr~ just gorgeous!}
dancing in the kitchen~ most gracefully to this & more upbeat to this{while sweeping}, a delicate pool of shadows{floating on the wall}, spacious caverns ensconcing a vivid repertoire of emotion, with limes & avocado{a day flecked with highlights}

"i look about me, & make a discovery"
"he thought so much of others, because he thought so little of himself."
today, "a light shines on my way!"

the 1st & 3rd quote are chapter headings from Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield, & the 2nd is a quote about Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin given by his son~ these 3 quotes are the most succinct way to sum up my thoughts today, i could write for hours upon them :)
loveliest thoughts

spectacular ponderings, {magnificent thought*}

this week;


a palatial sprig of sweetness,



spatial reckoning of an art exhibit, the warm camaraderie of a soccer game, vintage jade & cobblestone walls, moving boxes & ringing stairwells...searching for "harmonious outcomes" & knowing warm mornings... i found some beautiful sites, {which i'll share when i can}
:) sending smiles
