Can you see the holiness in those things you take for granted — a paved road or a washing machine? If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.
— Rabbi Harold Kushner
Treasures are positive things that strike my fancy, that make me feel happy or thankful or interested. Treasures are memories encapsulated in just a few words.
These are my Treasures for the past week.
- Late afternoon sunlight illuminating buildings by the Bay as the fog comes in over the water.
- A warm day with a stunning clear view over the Bay. I could actually make out some of the larger buildings on the Oakland side. It was simply a gorgeous, crystalline scene.
- Appreciating my computer all the more, now that it's working reliably again!
- Good authors and good books, Think what the world would have been like without the printing press, the increase in literacy, and more recently, the paperback book. Read a Book Today!
- Sleeping kitties – upside down tummy up; swirled in kitty cups; sogged on the cabinet; curled on the bed…
- Mezzaluna sleeping by my arm. As I type, I reach over and rub her head.
- A nice long note from my Mom.
- A day off from Work; turning a three-day holiday weekend into a four-day weekend!
- Nifty packaging – chili in boxes! (like "juice boxes" ).
- Late summmer fruits and vegetables
- The smell of fresh Basil (ummmmmmmm)
- Dark turkey sandwiches on fresh sourdough bread
- Sharing a strawberry milkshake
