a little tea cup..
well, two really. i received two wonderfully simple cups and saucers in a online mug swap.
space was limited in moving here and i didn't bring a cup and saucer. didn't even think too, if i remember right.
its glorious to sit and sip some tasty organic earl grey tea in a lovely cup and saucer
one of the best things about them is they aren't really little!

more to be thankul for
CHAOS, glorious glorious choas!
six children today after many weeks of just three or four
we were cleaning up after our snack and it was beautifully chaotic,
someone wiping the table, someone drying the dishes, another brushing their teeth and the floor sweeper clanging the dust pan and beating a drum, it was so incredibly wonderful!!
i am sure in all that the cat was being chased and some was twirling and singing loudly
but it all got cleaned up

graditude
an on line friend is promoting graditude this month and it seems like a worthy cause.
I just got back from a "sweat" its really a prayer ceremony and i feel quite blessed to be invited to attend, even treated a bit like a regular there tonight. it was almost all spoken in lakota, but prayers are understood in any language. the men offered up such heart felt thanks and prayers it was truly a gift to be there.
it was quite interesting, sitting around waiting there were about six of us and suddenly just as we went in many more men showed up maybe 15 in all. they seem to just totally accept this white women into their circle.
one guy said that we were crazy, it was soooo hot. i felt grateful that i was able to take it like a man. :)

the drive to rapid city...
i drove to rapid city yesterday, and it was a beautiful drive!! its about an hour and 15 minutes on a good day. I've taken over two hours driving on a really snowy day.
the drive is through the badlands and its gorgeous! I almost always see some type of animal or bird that i have never seen here before. yesterday I saw quite a few eagles, which kind I'm not sure but they were very large!
I saw a pair resting on a large butte and several other soaring through the sky.
they look so majestic as they circle in the air.
this drive in the very best part of going to the big city.
