Eternity
~William Blake
He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies.
Lives in eternity's sunrise.

This week I'm grateful for:
Saturday morning cricket
- gets the boys outa the house early
Impromptu ball games on the back deck
- the sound of bounces ~ ka-thump ~ giggles and no broken windows so far
Invitations to birthday parties close to home
- a very best friend, no distance to drive and a mermaid theme party with an entertainer. Even I'm excited!
Home-made birthday cards
- dictating the spelling for sweet personalised messages. "How do you spell 'hope'?"
This is one blissful Saturday morning.
