A perfect pot of soup...kinda LOL

 

A perfect pot of soup.... kinda LOL.

TO call anything "perfect" is highly subjective, and you have to know both the measure and the process to understand one's view of perfection.

Because in all honesty, I knew, after trying to ask "The Chef" to make the curried bisque has not been successful. And I mean MONTHS of asking

So why did I let it go so long without making it myself?

Many reasons...

To encourage him to take pride in his cooking again. He got in a slump. Honestly, depression looks so different in his formula.... and we all experience it. We just don't have to stay in it or fashion a whole wardrobe or identity out of it. It happens. Growth. Stagnation. Boredom. Searching. Frustration. Inspiration...it's all a part of the process of life.

He started claiming "Soup Saturday" after I told him of the family tradition we used to have as I was growing up.

So as each Saturday rolled around, he found comfort in curling up with a bowl of soup at the end of the day.

And don't I DARE cook it on a Friday LOL.

He was inspired and committed again.

And while he's at work, I'm finally sneaking into the kitchen this Saturday and throwing it together.

Tossed in my ingredients...let it boil a bit... went to taste... BITTER LOL ...and spicy too. Forgot a few ingredients Fixed it...and remembered a few more. At this point, Jesus took the wheel ...

And thank God! Because the taste I had been missing is now in front of me and I am beyond grateful for the patient, persevering, and perfecting process that brought me here.

Let's enjoy the bliss of joy and wonder in things as small a a bowl of soup.

Family walk

Our intention as a family to build and foster connection

 

Good mawnin'!

Setting for family Sunday breakfast before church.

This is not showing how we live day in and day out. This is showing our intention as a family to build and foster connection.

Too many distractions and mental distortions out there have taken us away from core values and the desires of who it is that we want to be in this life.

So we expressed the desire born out of the "problem" of conflict and edginess and we came up with a plan. That was Friday, that got bumped to Saturday, that IS HAPPENING today.

Dropping the perfection and expectation, and showing up with consistency and the pull of inspired action.

What on your heart to change? What do you long to experience? And what small thing can you do now that will help it to happen?

Breakfast is ready!
