Great Expectations!


"We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake,
not by mechanical aid,
but by an infinite expectation of the dawn."
Henry David Thoreau


The little parts of my days don't often seem like much.
Simple job.
Phones, paper shuffling, errands.
A few hours by myself in the morning
and a few shared with my husband in the evening.
Enjoy some TV or a craft.
Write a blog post and read a post or two.
Simple.


It's the learning.
And the connections.
It's chasing the shadows
and embracing the light 
that turns the simple
into the magical.
Even when
the little parts of our days don't often seem like much.

  1. Love these lines...It's chasing the shadows
    and embracing the light
    that turns the simple
    into the magical.
    Even when
    the little parts of our days don't often seem like much.

    If we open our hearts anything is possible and you express that beautifully !
