The Life We Are Creating (Episode 1)

 Our life is a precious endowment.
We grab all the wonderful growing moments,
as we strive to see abundance in spend-less living
and enjoy daily gifts received.

We harvest the power of wind and sun 
to fall asleep in lavender, sunshine scented beds


and till the ground to encourage the growth of mint 
to enjoy mind- invigorating minty flavoured cold drinks.


We glean fallen bark and pinecones for use in our garden,


To our loved ones across the veil
we bring gifts collected lovingly from bushes growing wild.


We gather knowledge while attending
cost-free talks and workshops.


We enjoy the beauty of a season
and take time to explore new places without expense.


We gather memories and treasured moments often
as we honour our Matriarch
through precious time spent together.


We turn paper and oil pastels into
spectacular reproductions,


Ice cream and Oreos into birthday cakes,


Pick and Pay shopping bags into crocheted baskets,


Old clothing price tags, magazine cutouts and ephemara
into creative handmde gift tags,


and
Toilet Roll Tubes and other odds and ends 
into Christmas gift tags.


We take walks


And stop to caress our homegrown lavender plants
to enjoy nature's beautiful calming perfume.


We are so blessed,
 as we take the time 
to drink in the abundance
of our life.
