Small Joy. February 10, 2021

Sometimes something as simple as an inviting lunch is all you need to make you smile. I have really gotten interested in cooking since the pandemic set in. I previously hated cooking dinners because unfortunately my children had limited palates. I was probably to blame as I could barely stay awake most nights after working all day and then tending to a flock of sheep and finally getting around to cooking dinners for two starving children. I think now, if I had it to do all over again it was really that I lacked the imagination necessary for cooking when I was working. I barely could think of something healthy and nourishing to make let alone plan a dinner. I feel bad for my children as they really did like to try new things when we went out to dinner but they lacked an imaginative mother in the kitchen. I wonder how they would like my meals now? This is a lunch of red quinoa cakes and salad, delish.

Small joys can be coming across an old photo of an old friend that passed away suddenly. She was an amazing woman and someone who saved my life when I needed a friend the most. After my divorce I badly needed respite of some kind and Susan offered it to me and my two children. She was a generous individual and off we went to Spain for a month, to get away and think and try to make a plan to rebuild my life as a single parent of two adopted kids. Savor each moment. She will be missed.

Dogs provide endless hours of enjoyment. After working on my writing I came in to get a much deserved bit of lunch only to find that Liam must have had a rough day on the job. I did not pose this picture, it is a sign of the times that a dog is resting beside a mask. Maybe this is the next step in Covid 19 protection. It made me chuckle and he was no worse for the wear.
