Treasures 2005_52

The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart.

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.

  • Meeting two cute doglets — a woolly black mop dog and a Brussels Griffon

  • A perfect Calla Lily

  • Lots of fat little brown birds, and the occasional squirrel, at our backyard feeder; the squirrels are especially fun to watch as they eat sunflower seeds and corn.

  • Naps with Squirrel. Cuddles with Raven. Sleepy snuggles with Bebop under the covers. Mezzaluna lying on my chest, purring.

  • The one-eighth ton Silly Putty story

  • Raymond's Sour Dough bread (a local brand), the best. Mmmmm crunchy when toasted.

  • Our turkey pot pie recipe, always perfect.

  • Nice new rust-resistant carts at the grocery store - no rust, no squeaky wheels that don't turn.

  • Installing a cat flap in Rich's office door.

  • The sound of rain on the screenporch roof (or the sunroom roof). Enjoying it all the more, knowing that we're all inside, safe and warm and dry.

  • And, as this year ends, my best Treasures:

    • Richard

    • Our home

    • The cats

    • Our health

    • Family

    • Friends

    • My computer, the net, the WWW, and all of the possibilities they afford...
