sitting in my big blue comfy chair with my afghan that my grandma made, reading my book.
eating cheese and raisins.
painting my toenails.
....
baby hugs.
having coffee with good friends.
caramel chocolate lattes and white chocolate mochas.
buying a new book.
...
getting lost on purpose, just to see what's out there.
It's an almost familiar list!, except

sitting in front of the crackling fire with the blue afghan that my mother made, reading my book or surfing the net.
eating cheese and crackers with a tart fruit juice out on the hammock
painting my toenails (not! no analogue here, but substitute...)
swinging on my adult-size swing in the front yard under the pine trees or enjoying the breeze on the back patio
....
baby hugs (definitely! and mom hugs too).
spending time with friends (even if they don't like coffee!).
sipping cafe mocha and watching people at the mall
having bought a new book.
...
taking a different way, just to see what's out there or enjoy a different place
trying a new dish to see if it tastes like you thought it would​
:^) It must be contageous!

ps - "As soon as we have seen that darkness, all light is lightning, sudden, blinding, and divine. Until we picture nonentity we underrate the victory of God, and can realize none of the trophies of His ancient war. It is one of the million wild jests of truth that we know nothing until we know nothing"
- That's another great quote!

---------
"Until a man realizes God has designed a daily providence and obedience-shaped place for him in the universe he is doomed to eternal wandering.
It is only in that place that he is blessed to know ultimate unity with all of God's creation and his heart cries - I have a place! It is right! I am home!"
