Treasures 2005_35

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
