    Sometimes it’s an expansive horizon, a sunrise or a sunset, but what I love the most is when it’s a simple task, like washing the dishes, cooking a meal, folding the sheets – there is usually where my bliss lies!
    I’ve added Ashen to my blogroll.
    Lovely!

    This was a lovely post by a truly optimistic person who delights in both the huge wonders of God’s glory and the small things so many of us miss. I intend to look more closely from now on.
