01.26.2023 | Ordinary Thursday

We spent some time in the Climatron on a cold winter's day last week and captured this beauty.  What a gift we have in the Missouri Botanical Garden.  We are trying to get back into the habit of visiting at least once a week for a lovely walk and witnessing the subtle changes that happen. Such beauty all around us if we only take a moment to witness.

It's dark outside this cold winter's morning in the Carondelet Garden.  It's one of those mornings where things are quiet and peaceful.  Music is playing and coffee is ready.  The newspapers are waiting to be read.  An open day lies ahead.  It's a bit disconcerting.  We seldom have an open day.  A day that has nothing on the calendar.  No appointments. No visits to make or plans. I'm sure the day will be filled up before we know it but it's nice to rest in the white space.  A simple, ordinary Thursday.  I hope and pray that you have a moment to yourself today.  A bit of white space to reflect. Maybe have another cup of coffee.  Amen.
