stolen minutes

flower cutting station
Within almost each day there are stolen minutes laced with simplicity, perhaps in the company of zinnias and cosmos...

or discovered in the magic of stumbling upon unexpected afternoon sunshine streaming through a window.

It's these fleeting, quiet moments of abundance that I hold onto when the rest of the world seems to be spinning a little too fast.

So in the midst of adjusting to new fall routines, family sickness, and crazy country internet connections {that flub any attempt at getting work done}, I recognize these captured bits of peace for the gifts they really are.

I'm hoping you catch a quiet moment for yourself today, too!

    We are thinking a little bit the same today. Especially the chairs. Beautiful zinnias, images, thoughts.

    I've just sat down, taken my shoes off and cracked open a chocolate bar. I've still got plenty to do today, but this is the first moment of peace in weeks, so I'm savouring it...

    I found your blog via annekata (who I found from Creature Comforts-hooray for the blogging community!) and now I would like to step into that photo of the afternoon sun streaming in on that bed. So dreamy and restful.

    Sigh, yes. The quiet moments are like a little sigh in the middle of the chaos. Lovely reminder. x
