Beautiful

Being surrounded by the beautiful fills me.  When things aren't chaotic.  Today, I have made beautiful food.  Pork chops seared then oven roasted with apple, jalapeno and onion slices, craisins, a little dried mustard, a little cajun pepper mix, salt and after cooking sealed tight, opened it up and added yellow squash, new potatoes, carrots, and asparagus.  Then I closed it back up but didn't seal it...let out steam...to roast the veggies.  Served with stuffing and salad.  Oh my goodness, it's SO pretty.  Ok.  Enough bragging.  I won't even be here to eat with all...have to go with son number one to see an apartment.  That's ok though.  It'll be always in my mind.  I created texture, complementing colors and an aroma that's to die for. 
I think that's why painting helps me too.  To relax in the beautiful.  In the soothing colors and the harmony.  Hard to describe.  Somewhere in there is some artist.  Artist of what might be. 
grace to you
