It's a great way to make the remains of a roast chicken feed us for one more day.<br /><br />I'm sure someone known for wisdom has said something about the joy of being content in the moment. The best thing about getting older for me has been the ability to just enjoy whatever it is I'm doing and not wish I were somewhere else. I spent a good hour today faffing about with a piece of cardboard and some tin foil to make a light reflector board. And then angling it every which way and taking photographs of an African basket. No real reason, I'm not planning to sell either the photographs or the basket, but it was great and I wouldn't have wanted to do anything else. <br /><br />Being happy with what you have is probably the least sad condition a person could have.Erylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008344023000459577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-84661772491140887372011-06-13T13:06:26.304-07:002011-06-13T13:06:26.304-07:00Do you know that they advice cancer patients to do...Do you know that they advice cancer patients to do crossword puzzles and other puzzels?

To cooked cous-cous, I add chopped fresh tomatoes and thinly sliced green onions, cilantro, lemon juice and olive oil. Add a hard boiled egg on the side for lunch or for dinner I like to serve it with Thai Green Curry.<br /><br />I think your morning sounds just lovely not sad at all.<br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-18166027184639171222011-06-13T07:34:46.255-07:002011-06-13T07:34:46.255-07:00Definitely not sad!
