morning at the Dorseys

What I'm finding in working on this new series is the need to become aware of moments and situations that are so ordinary it's hard to see them. Like Ed and me reading in the living room. Since his pain condition came on, Ed can no longer sit in his usual chair, but has to sit in straight-back chairs instead. Perhaps it was this slight change that helped me see this photographic possibility this morning (Monday). I am grateful to whatever opened my eyes, for I like this photo very much.

You have both carried a quality of jeunesse dorée into this beautiful scene. Sharing pleasures like reading and music brings us together when we're young and cements our bonds as we go through life.

It very much reminds me of my parents when they used to sit together. It has jolted my memory today, thankyou Patricia.

Every single day we experience extraordinary moments, as reading peacefully with our beloved in the living room, the problem is that the most of the people are not aware of these "moments" as an extraordinary gift of life. Then, thank you Patricia for showing these beautiful moments as precious as they are. BV!!
