For me, the pleasure in life emerges in the tiny beautiful things that appear each day. This morning I woke with a headache and so lazily rested in bed with my tea and reading. That was glorious.  Took our two dogs for a walk with a friend on a cold but rare sunny day in Seattle.  That was glorious.  Shopped at a old bookstore in Seattle, Elliot bay bookstore. It is just wonderful. Spent the afternoon reading. Yes, also glorious. I picked up what seems to be a very interesting book, The Wandering Falcon by jamil Ahmed. I have only read the first few chapters and am fascinated by the book.  Jamil started writing later in life. He lives in Islamabad and was born and raised in India and Pakistan. The story presents the life and traditions of the people in that part of the world.
