darlings
some spring cleaning was in Order.
a new background for teamgloria.com
(and some Tweaking on the “parent navigation bar” shade-wise, a removal of some no-longer-needed-objects therein as well).
re-folding and applying lavender scented drops on the drawer liners in the linen closet (or “airing cupboard” for our British friends).
a moment of pause to take in a little Proust:
“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
― Marcel Proust
taking photographs of the new decorated mini match-boxes (not by us, they’re available at many small shops and special grocery stores in the vicinity of sunset boulevard or just off bundy in brentwood if you’re in Town) before placing them (carefully) around the house nearby (but not too near) the Scented candles.
a drive to the Beach to see some friends very early this morning. thinking once again of Monsieur Proust:
“Always try to keep a patch of sky above your life.”
― Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way
flowers and a Reverie make You think of Proust, aussi?
“Remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were.”
― Marcel Proust
“We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.”
― Marcel Proust
and now, to end, perhaps a little Brahms – for Clarinet?
we have remembered why we came here (very nearly three years ago).
it was to celebrate glorious people, places and things.

“Every reader finds himself. The writer’s work is merely a kind of optical instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have seen in himself.”
― Marcel Proust, Time Regained
