Joy Dare Monday ...

God is pretty awesome. I struggle to trust in God but I'm getting better at remembering that God's there with me. It now takes half a day instead of several, or never. I worry, I fret, I lose sleep and then it's like ... oh, yeah. God's here with me and will be.

And I'm almost successful in putting the worry away. Almost.

This might be why this week has been easier to find the gifts God displays around me and within me.

Here are the gifts from the past week.


473. looking in the mirror and finding a curl in the middle of my forehead



474. lavender blue of agapanthus bloom
475. peonies at Vons




476. finding a lost letter
477. baby laughter

crappy iPhone for once...

  4. Oh, I love pink peonies! I treated myself to a 5-stem bunch just a few days ago and they're fragrant and beautiful! My favorite flowers!
