perceptions + quotes + reality =
A to Z Challenge~
My mind
was prepared with no ‘OFF’ switch; seems I’m always creating, writing and
thinking in my head. Believe me, I’m not begrudging my contemplations, I‘d just
like to get a reprieve from them particularly during sleep hours.
Therefore,
I ascertained as butterflies are released into the air so my thoughts are freed
onto paper. So to get underway, here are
three things I think I think… ironically beginning with the letter “T”!
1.) Tiny Treasures: in my
sometimes eventful hectic days, I frequently overlook the abundance of tiny
treasures in my life. The riches of my son’s giggle, a mug of my favorite specially
prepared blend of coffee delivered to my writing space by my hubby and the
kitty curled in my lap. More so the soft out-of-the-dryer blanket draped across
my shoulders on a chilly day and scrumptious meals lovingly prepared by my husband
who knows I hate to cook; tiny treasures indeed~
2.) Treading into New Territory: Change,
while challenging is good. Shaking things up provides a diverse shade of lenses
to view life while also allowing and instigating self-discovery, reflection and
rejuvenation.
3.) Together: The last two Saturdays ‘my boys’ have run in
5K road races. Scott, my husband has come in third in his age bracket while
Nicholas has finished in the top ten in his division. Regardless of the position-their
best placement was completed together.
So there
you have it-three things I think I think. Well actually, I know…
“We must always think about things,
and we must think about things as they are, not as they are said to be.”
By George Bernard Shaw

Lovely post. I can tell your 'noticing' nature informs your writing. And what a great pic of your boys.
I think a warm blanket from the dryer wrapped around your shoulders by a loved one is more than a tiny treasure. You are blessed.
So lovely to acknowledge the treasures (big and small)in your life. Love is made up of the many small things we do for others and that others do for us as well as the ocassional grand gesture.
What wonderful T sentiments - love the last one best - your boys together! Yay! Take care

Great T post. Loved the Togetherness of your boys.

What a great post - I especially love the tiny treasures. Makes me want to make a list of my own today and reminds me how important it is to count my blessings, however small they seem!
Wonderful "tees."
I slithered into hot slacks from the dryer this morning, which definitely was a "treasure" on this freezing cold, snowy day!
A nice cup of Lady Grey tea in a few minutes, also will be a "treasure." I call those little things "happys." :-)
Kudos to your hubby and son, btw!
loved the tiny treasures. :) they make our days worthwhile.
Wonderful post. I call my "tiny treasures" simple pleasures &, you're right, they're just amazing.
I loved this post! Those tiny treasures are so important. Hot coffee brought to you by your hubby, a kitty on your lap--that's the life! :-)
BTW, that's a HUGE treasure that your husband cooks for you! I hate to cook too. I'm going to show this post to my husband and remind him how good he cooks!
Love the photo of your boys! I think it's great they're running together.
i enjoy those tiny treasure you found,a very nice selection of thoughts
You must be proud of them doing the race! YES to the Island Coconut K-Cups!!!!! They are my latest discovery and absolutely divine!!!! I'm headed to the store to buy more boxes.
Tiny treasures are so important and so good when we notice them. A wonderful post.
Sweet post, you indeed have many treasures and how smart of you to realize that.
It's the tiny treasures that add up to wonderful memories.
It is great to treasure your son's giggle...I need those warm blankets today! Yay for 5K
Love your three "T's" - thought provoking as always!
You Tiny Treasures, are what I put in my 1000 Gifts Journal. The little things that puts a bright spot in life.
And how great your "runners". Years ago when I was in my 40's my husband and I participated in several "Fun Runs". I would run the 2 mile, and he would run the 10K. It was so much fun. Now that I've lost the weight and exercising 5 days a week...wonder if I could do a 2 mile again.
Love that George Bernard Shaw quote.
There's something very special about togetherness.
AWESOME Tiny Treasures.I think I need to try your special blend coffee. It looks YUMMY!

Happy A to Z-ing!
Your thinking served you well! Sometimes my brain feels dead...:)JP
Wonderful post! I love tiny treasures too, and togetherness is awesome!
I think that I love this post. Those tiny treasures sound wonderful. Great pic of your boys!
It's those small things that add up to precious memories through the years. Yeah for your two guys in the race!
Love the last photo Tracy -- :)
Lovely, lovely post! The pictures are wonderful. I like what you've done with the place, too. =D
This is a super cool post. I think it's my favorite. Maybe it's my fav because I am a recovering think-a-holic.
Let me think on that. Yes, I'm an over thinker, too.

Wonderful post! Yes, I love my tiny treasures, too. I try to show gratitude for them every day. Treading in new territory is something I thrive on. I am a big advocate for change.
Congrats on your two guys finishing in the top ten and above!
This is a great post, Tracy. I especially liked the tiny treasures. They are a joy indeed.
My brain keeps going long after my body turns off too! Some nights it keeps me awake. Others ... it's more like it pauses and when I awake ... I just pick up where I left off!
I love that your husband cooks! It's so nice that he and your son ran the 5k together too! What handsome and thoughtful boys you have! Julie
Tracy, so many treasures to be thankful for. Blessings, Amanda

Love that Shaw quote..... My "T" word --I think- I think-- would be TOUCH.... Since I was untouchable when I was younger, I have learned the value of touch these days... I LOVE it---I think, I think!!!!
Hugs,
