I had the evening alone last night.
I went to DSW and bought shoes.
I went to a counseling appointment and worked out all my issues.
And then,
home.
where I made myself a steak salad with lettuce from the garden
and then sat on my yellow porch chair
and watched the world go by
and it was bliss.

C
you had one of those moments that your dad and I call 'romance for one'
kind of says it all, doesn't it?
I am happy you have a home....and a garden....
because it is nice to see both captured here, along with your thoughts
Dude...that salad looks amazing. I'm comin over.Love you.
Just have to say again how much I love your light fixture above the table!!!!
I can't think of anything more sublime than sitting on a yellow porch chair and watching the world go by, knowing exactly where you are. Shanti, shanti, shanti.
THIS POST IS AWESOME!
I can see from this post that sometimes (more than I'd like to admit :O) I talk too much. You inspire me. Good job and thanks for sharing. ;D
mmmmmm, I can feel the bliss!!
Oops sorry that anonymous (and wannabe yoga instructor) up there is me, Emma. I have to add the lettuce looks so crisp and fresh!
Your salad looks scrumptious!
Wow, your home looks so peaceful, clean, uncluttered, and inviting!
Beautiful blog and this post was a poem.

Your home is dreamy.
I love those quiet moments too.
Oh, so lovely--John Keats says it better than I could:
"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and o’er-darkened ways
Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall."
That sounds like a perfect night.
I LOVE that poster.
Love. Love. Love.
carin.
i wish i i would have dropped by last night...'cause, well, i can because i am here and because that salad you grew looked phoenom and mostly bc i miss you.

cjs,,,alone can be therapuetic,,,alone can be cleansing,,,alone can be healthy,,,alone can be time that you realize life is good and being alone for as long as you wish is o.k.,,,your meal looks healthy, and yummy, and watching the world go by from your yellow chair sounds "bliss",,,be well!
So nice to see you blogging again... it really is cathartic, isn't it?
Your writing is still just as wonderful as always.... as are your photos. (I agree with everyone else that the salad looks wonderful...)
Glad you're enjoying this chapter in your life and savoring the moment.
