Moments - D7 - New Wondrous Foods... and MANY moments!!


Today has been a special kind of day.  It's been filled with many magical moments.  I can't just choose one to share.  Why should I?  So, what I AM going to do, is share the ones that stood out and list some of the others.  I don't know why I was so flooded with moments, but hey, I'm going to love them all!

So - the first magical moment:  A loving email from a dear friend of mine.  She reminded me of being a light to others and how inspirational that can be.  It warmed my heart and it was a beautiful way to start my work day.

The second magical moment:  Another email from another friend.  She's been finding a new path.  SHE IS ON FIRE!  And she reminded me that I helped to keep the spark alive.  This filled my soul with such happiness.  She is an amazing women and I am CERTAIN she will find her path again.

And then the day brought moments of smiles.  Being told you are beautiful and kind and generous will do that in a day.  I don't know why I was flooded with love, but I promise the universe that I will take this love and energy and amplify it back to those most in need.

The next kinda-cool-I-need-to-share-moment has to do with a new wondrous (to me!) food.  You may (or not) know, I'm a bit of a foodie.  I've tried many, many different things over the years.  I have never, in my time on this earth, had a fresh almond.  Today a co-worker introduced me to these furry, tart, tasty fruits.  The almond flesh is tart.  The almond "pit" is sweet.  It's DELIGHTFUL!  It's a short season (according to the blog I found about them), but I am hoping I will be able to find some at the St. Lawrence market!

How INCREDIBLE.  Really!  I never knew that such a thing existed!  They were delicious.  Here's a picture:

And better yet, I found this other blog that talks about them in great detail.  Please do go read about them.

Yes - a new foodie moment.  A lot of love moments.  My day felt complete.  But I was wrong.

This evening brought a connection of old souls and great discussions of the workings of the world around us.  An impromptu moment between an 8-year old and her Mom.  "Mommy - I love you"....just as I walked past.  A confirmation of fun plans for the weekend....and then a surprise visit.  I didn't have the productive evening I had planned for myself, but I find myself closing out my day with a warm glow from all the beautiful moments.

So tonight I pause and thank the universe for being so generous with me today.  I am thankful for all the beautiful souls in my circles.  I promise to cherish them every day with MANY more moments to share.
