if you are into that kind of thing

As much as I love going on an adventure, I crave days that are full of pure ordinariness.  Chopping up an apple, appreciating the texture of this felted tweed yarn, being able to buy flowers at the store, scrubbing the kitchen sinks, making a to-do list for the weekend, savoring a spicy chai tea latte, and watching the sun go down at the end of it all. 

Today was that kind of day.  And it was lovely.  Do you know Janalea Hoffman?  I listened to her "musical accupuncture" CD today when I was knitting in front of the fireplace.  Highly recommended if you are into that kind of thing.  Which I am.

The way you highlight the beauty and joy of the everyday is what I so love about your blog. Thanks for sharing!

It sounds like a perfect ordinary day. I love days like that. Hope you will come and visit my blog--I finally posted something new after all these months. You are my inspiration!

Lovely post. That yarn makes me want to dive in and rub my face on it. And the paper you're making a list on? Purely scrumptious! I want it!

[Diana]

Sounds like contentment to me!

Ordinary days are the best. I've always been a homebody and the older I get, the more I appreciate a good day around the house. Great yarn color.

I love ordinary... and savoring tea (or coffee). I clean my sink with blue dawn, hydrogen peroxide and then baking soda. Makes it shine! (pinterest). I think of you when I go to the farmers market.

I'm with you. Adventures are fantastic but not every day is meant for one of those big adventures. Some days the same daily routine is the best adventure of them all.

Do you have Janalea's other CD Music for Massage? I went to her website and listened to both (Massage and Acupunture...I can't decide which one I like better.
