Eucharisteo Moment ~

It Friday night and were riding to our 
favorite pizza place.

"Today I had a moment of pure joy!"
"Tell me about this moment"  Mr. Mark said.

"Today during Field Day I was with my class at the
Parachute Station.  The kids faces were so radiant 
with having so much fun that I began to laugh
and I remembered how much I love to see
people I love laughing."

.. "go on"

"The kids and the Junior High Student Leaders
began to lift the parachute up
higher and higher
and then
They would run underneath it 
and sit on it making a tent
and I could hear them giggling, 
and laughing and then...

one of the student leaders pokes her head out
and says.. "they want you to come in"

SO..

They all ran out and we began lifting it
higher and higher and then we all
ran underneath and sat on the edges.
The dome was so high and it held
for quite a while,

during which the kids kept running over
and hugging me and sitting in my lap
and we were all giggling
laughing, and happily wrestling
under the tent like structure.

It was as if time stood still for 
a long moment and I felt 
and lived suspended
in that 
one 
happy
joyful

Eucharisteo 
moment."


The rest of my Thankful list would be,

writing out Thank You and just because notes
to staff and  co-workers and my loving and supporting parents,
Using these sweet gingham cards 
I found at Target.

More note cards 
on my favorite flea market find,


This Vogart dishtowel in bright bright colors


And I have especially enjoying finding this book!


Others would be the smell of toast in the toaster,
the way the Spring rains have brought the purple
Hibiscus plant over our privacy fence for us to enjoy,
and so much more...

Wishing you many
Eucharisteo moments this week my friends.
Blessings ~ Katie

Gratitude With Grace ~*


The Month of April
was full of grace-filled moments!

Walking in the door of the school on my birthday
 and having friends greet me and sing
 the Birthday Song to me! 

A new mix of music a beloved friend made for me,
and getting to be a guest blogger on her blog.

Grade school and high school girlfriends

Laughing several times until my sides ached and 
I couldn't stop smiling


Soldered charm from generous Lynn
Wonderful things arriving in my mailbox.


Cuff kit from Rosa and Josie's

My mother's heartfelt smile.
Sweet Mama ~ whose nest eggs hatched and
the baby birds flew away!

Driving with the windows rolled all the way down 


Rain soaking the earth ~
bringing out more and more green!

I share the same birthday month as Jan's precious granddaughters
Having the heart of a child about to
 begin a new Adventure
Creating I'm so "Thankful for You" gifts

Finding
Grace in each and every day!
Would love to hear your grateful moments from April,
and what you're looking forward to in May!!!


Wishing You Wonderful
May Blessings

Living In This Moment ~


I've 
been reading this



And 
it has made me so
  thankful
for the moments
I am experiencing in my life 
right now.

My  
current 
Eucharisteo
(thanksgiving)
List
Photographing Spring!





Doing things that makes you
feel like a child again!
(50's Day and Dance at the school where I teach)


(remember Moon pies?)

Receiving a text with an "I love U" at the end.


Sweet Earth Mother who spills forth 
during this time of the year!


(Our Japanese Stroll Garden last weekend)


Spending time with a dear friend
you haven't seen in a Long time.


Putting on your spring clothes
and finding wiggle room.


Finding an extra hour to
read your book, create, nap,
plant, take a walk, or
enjoying life!




Enchanting blog posts like these:
Raven Moon Magic



Finding old things long forgotten

now new once more

(I found some old images I had collected long ago,
and saved on a drive. Now I am sharing them
with you to use in your art if you want to..)








So my beautiful blog readers,


What is on your
Eucharisteo
List 
these days?

Spring Blessings,
~ Ragamuffin Gal




Each week I am writing 10 things that I am thankful for until I get to 1000.
