Noticing

... the loveliness of wind chimes.

Another weekend comes to a close...i hope you had a good one. Mine hasn't turned out too awesome. Completely out of nowhere, i just spent the weekend sick in bed with cabin fever ~ complete with body aches, fever-induced vomiting and one of the worst headaches on the side. The mister at home was super sweet taking trips to the store for bread, and random potions and elixirs. I owe him big time for taking such great care of me. It was hard work.

I don't really pay much attention to wind chimes. In fact, i've often associated them to horror stories. Sounds silly, i know, but yesterday afternoon something changed. I couldn't resist taking a picture of this wind chime that hangs at my apartment balcony. It was one of those beautiful sunday afternoon while i rested on the sofa to a calm soft breeze blowing in from the open door to the balcony ~ i had my eyes closed and my mind was at halt, all i did was just listen ~ to the beautiful whispering melody of this chime ~ such a soothing tranquility. Indeed, an enchanted clam, peaceful and serene moment for me.

I'm happy and relieved to report that i've seen a recovery of energy and good feeling. I almost feel like my old self. I also wanted to say thank you for all the super kind and supportive comments sent my way about my new Fujifilm Instax Mini 7 camera case. I am still so very thrilled! It reaffirms me once again that our community is mostly good, kind and supportive of one another. That's really important to me. Thank you so much for that.

Wishing you a good start to your week, have a good monday, dear friends! Love to you and yours!

Oh you poor thing :( I'm so glad you're feeling better now but what a horrible weekend you've had!

Your wind chime is really pretty. My friends have a bamboo one, it makes such a lovely sound, but I've never had one. Maybe now I'll buy one!

Oh my dear...that is so horrible! I'm so sorry you were feeling bad and so glad you are better now...jeepers! It always sucks to be sick, but nice to have the mister there helping you when needed :) Beautiful windchime as well...wow!

So sorry you've not been well, Jacqueline... Do hope you are resting and will be on the mend and feeling better very soon! :o) Must say I've always liked wind chimes, and this one you show here is lovely. Be taking good care my friend... ((LOVE & HUGS))

I am sorry to hear that you were sick, but happy you are feeling better! I have a neighbor who has wind chimes all around his house, I bet over 20 sets of them...It's funny you said that you associate them with horror movies because when he put all of them up I told my husband that reminds me of something a crazy cereal killer would have at their house!
Now I love listening to them, they are quite relaxing. Have a lovely day and much love to you!

I think it's the season, everyone around me at work has fallen sick :( I hope you feel better, do remember to take lots of fluids and rest well!

I find it amusing that you thought of horror movies when you think of wind chimes, I think they're beautiful and soothing :)

This is such a pretty post--I'm just sorry that you were so sick. It's awful, isn't it?! I'm glad you are better now--that's so wonderful that you had someone to help you through it all. The windchime photo is lovely -- so soft and with such pretty lighting.

I'm so sorry to hear that you weren't well -- it's just the worst to have those symptoms you had. I feel for you!! I'm glad you are getting better now. This is such a lovely post and very pretty photo -- the lighting is so nice and muted. I think it is a very special picture. I enjoyed reading it all, but just feel bad that you were in so much pain. So, here's to many healthy months ahead! I'll send good thoughts your way. Be well dear friend! : )

What a beautiful photo – serene and graceful and full of peace. I'm dreadfully sorry you were feeling so awful, dear. That's just rotten. But I'm so happy that you had such excellent care and that you are nearly recovered. Thank goodness for that! Have a wonderful new week, filled with the healing light of this lovely image. Thank you for visiting and your sweet comment. xo ♥ – g

I am so sorry to hear you were ill. Glad you are back on the road to recovery though. I believe our bodies MAKE us sick to take things a bit easier. Seems you had a good rest despite feeling unwell and that's good. Love wind chimes! I have about 5 of them around the house. Sadly several of them have recently broken during these awful windstorms we get before rain lately. I need to replace them. I often lie in bed at night listening to the sounds. Very calming. Enjoy your week and get better!

That is a lovely wind chimes.

Sorry to hear that you weren't feeling well over the weekend but glad that mister was taking great care of you.

Wishing you a happy merry lovely week and lots of love to you.

Glad to know you're feeling better. Wind chimes always reminds me of summer in Japan :)

[Anne Marie]

Happy to hear that you are feeling a bit better. Sometimes our body try to tell us that we need to slow down. Perhaps that's what happened with you.

[Candi]

I hope you're feeling better soon!
