Sunday Scribblings " Recipe"
My daughter had a tight bright party to attend last night. She started to roll out the double recipe of sugar cookies she'd prepared the previous night. Her hands were perspiring profusely and kept slipping off the rolling pin.... So super mummy to the rescue,( even though this was not in my plan) rolled out several cookie sheets of music notes, and tiny guitars for the musicians Birthday bash.

More than I'd like to count broke in half. We mixed up several colors,
sat at a big table and had a decorating fest.
I even decorated the broken cookies....which I actually liked best. Which goes to show sometimes the broken ones can shine dispite their imperfections. Art presents in so many ways during the day at times living in the moment can be the most fun. We turned a negative into a positive, they went to their party. I had a lovely dinner and visit with my dear artist friend from the magic cottage!

happen to be Zara mens brand new,( tags still) on for a few bucks!
Recipe for contentment
Dissuading the voice of negativity, from self and others
Being strong in your convictions despite criticism
Knowing, what may suit others, may not be right for you
Setting boundaries to free time, enjoy family, create and keep your sanity
Enjoying the essence that is you, as odd as that may be
Respect that we are all unique with individual gifts to share
Realizing and believing YOU are BETTER than YOU think you are!!!
Feeling peaceful in our aloneness
Listening to (gods’ whispers) or intuition to find the core of who we are
Expressing yourself without reservation, knowing it may not always be well received
Listening with compassion, and without judgement
Be generous with empathy
Seeing the world with as much humour as possible
Laughing at your follies, as a celebration of humanity and a means for joy
Laugh often, be goofy, shake it up once in a while and see the humor in life
Looking beyond justice into truth....it’s different for each of us!
Sharing what you can afford, anything that’s an asset to you
Harness impatience and really connect with your surroundings
Love deeply without expectation!
Let music fill your soul
