light without windows

"Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot."
— Aristotle

 This is the view out my kitchen window. 

A place where I often feel the happiest - those few hours after work before Mr.D gets home

when I cook and dance around our tree house - listening to French music - all of my senses swirling.

Cooking directs my mind in a way little else can. It is becoming just as much an escape for me 

as reading or writing can be...and often its end result is much more gratifying...

at least to my taste-buds.

And after spending the day in my windowless box, 

I feel quite at ease in my window-filled kitchen....

But today, my day job just got a little brighter...I've been promoted indeed!

----------------------------

Its not just windows that make the world brighter...

its confidence in the form of a surprise promotion, 

a surgery that went well and a dad who is already up and walking again (!),

its a husband who makes my life feel blissful beyond belief

and a higher power who once again makes me feel nothing but thankful

He never fails to take care of us...even in the tiny details.
