Just for today...

Once upon a time I learned that mystic saying. It is so meaningful today especially today. My husband was laid off last week and he very generously went to yet another birthday gathering for one of our friend's kids while I did my best to keep life together...I went to the farmer's market downtown. I love farmer's markets. We used to go when we lived in LA once a week. Something inspires a part of me there. Something stirs my memories before the seasons actually make their debut in a farmer's market. I know what the seasons will bring from what bounties the markets hold. Apples= apple crisps, pumpkins=pies, pancakes, muffins ...scents and salvations that stir the echo's of my memories. I love food, the very melody of flavor and how it dances and intertwines itself and mingles on the verge of blissful cohabitation. Oh and I adore wine. Not cellared wines but true everyday table ones meant for the moms who really enjoyed a nice glass at the end of their less than perfect days. Like a nice hot bath or cup of tea on a day that helped you question really tough choices. Food is comfort and wine the blessing from the earth. These are the days and comforts of my life. Just for today I will remember all my many blessings....
