The days, the weeks are flying by!

Gratitude has been cultivating lightness, freedom, whimsy in my life. I can taste grace like the clear-blue September sky. With grace comes freedom, and with freedom comes creativity. How counter-intuitive that discipline gives birth to freedom. But it’s true! What can I say?
Anyway, here is this week’s harvest of gratitude and creativity:
