3 more days: stones, drives & feeling grateful



3 more days to the island.

a time of preparing and wrapping up, of closure and calendar, of spending hours at the desk to have free hours there. in between all, a mail from a friend, with lines on Thanksgiving. it's not celebrated here in Germany, but it's a beautiful concept: to take one day to give thanks. thinking about it brought me back to a reflection on life and a note of gratefulness, from the very first issue of BluePrintReview. here's a line from it:

Today I am grateful. For my life. For everything that I have experienced and everything that I have been spared. -  Today

on the theme of taking time, i revisited the river of stones page today, and picked it up for the blueprint lit blog. and then thought: i might make that a part of each island day: write a stone. and then join in january for the full month of a river of stones.

also, i took some time to spend some moments on the island - virtually, through the images i took there during a previous visit. and then stopped at a road. i think i never opened this image in full size before. click for full view.
