a friend said to me a couple of years ago "you've lived a charmed life". he was referring to the fact that I was dumbfounded that upon opening the box containing Trev's new swingset that he had purchased, we didn't have all the required bolts.
but none-the-less, Dear Reader, when such lovely compliments come around, i always accept them.
things that are charming me today:
snow outside my window
gentle rustle of the furnace air blowing
quiet
umbrella drying on the porch
thick knitted socks
a pot of water bubbling and steaming on the counter, waiting for...
a cup of tangerine orange zinger tea
tonight's full moon - and pondering what magick might be done today
my new sturdy winter shoes
remembering that I need to make soap today
my babies' sweet sleeping breath
what's charming your life today?

Really, what is charming me today? FALL! My kids and I went for a walk, while Kim and Liam napped. The leaves are falling everywhere. It's beautiful. The trail we hiked was very scenic. Maine has state numbered snowmobile trails and the one we went on was one of them. It's so beautiful.
We were charmed by Caleb's love for birds of prey. Someone else was in the woods and called like an owl. Caleb called back. It was so neat to hear how excited he was. It was charming.
Lundi was charming us all because she got a skirt on to walk in the woods...She took so many pictures.
Harrison was just plain cool (his norm).
Lauren was squooshy as a marshmallow. Her laugh is all the charm I need.
I think i'll borrow your charms for today. kind of running short of my own.
thx!
