our cup can overflow

Our cups DO overflow every day but it's terribly easy to take all those blessings for granted. I like Ann Voskamp's challenge to count 1000 gifts... find joy via thankfulness for little everyday things. It's amazing how observant we become when we start taking note of all there is to discover around us. BTW, I *love* blueberries! :)
A gentle reminder not to take things for granted! Lovely!
Oh I love seeing things as if for the first time. I could not do it thinking it was the last ... Would break my heart. Even the familiar is fresh with each new viewing I think.
What a lovely, lovely thought that is conveyed in that quote. And those blueberries...oh my goodness...I can almost taste them!
blueberries already in your neck of the woods?
blueberry/apple pie is divine, btw. and your photos? drool-worthy.
:-)
blessings.
so pretty the many angles, always love the richness of the blues.
this is the perfect way to SEE blueberries.. so beautiful
My husband is picking blueberries this morning as well. Our cup surely does overflow!
Wonderful. Great subject. You are so creative.
you make my mouth water
those blue things really are very beautiful. i like the little frilly circle and the roundness. what's that thing on the side of the bowl, a place for your fingers to hold on?
That is a beautiful reminder. Thanks for publishing

Davis, it is a teacup handle.
Ooooo, these looks so yummy, Susan, and i love all of these compositions.
Wonderful picture and words we would all do well to heed.
I love this quote and need to practice it more! You have done this by posting these blueberry pictures, you have made them more than blueberries, they are beautiful art.
Beautiful depth of field with wonderful detail.
Love your blueberry shots... and the quote is just awesome and soooooo true. I loved the pacific northwest area. Have a gazillion more shots but don't seem to be too organized. You now live in Minnesota?? I spent a great deal of time there when I was growing up. We had a cabin in the northern part of the state. It is a place of many great memories for me.
Been a while since I've seen that movie, read the story. You did good, as usual. I'm never surprised about that.
Fresh blueberries - one of my favorites! Yum!

Redeeming Love is one of the best books I've ever read. I haven't read the Agatha Raisin books, so thanks for the suggestions over at my place.
I like blueberries too. Better than sweets and very moreish. It's a simple pleasure. I'm glad you are well and hope that you have no big worries on your horizon.
Beauty can indeed be found in the everyday things.
Those are some amazing close-ups. I can feel their freshness and can see them in some nice cupcakes! :D
Beautiful. I needed to see this.
We enjoyed a bowl of blueberries (and strawberries) the other evening. We gave thanks, but I didn't photograph them. You have such imaginative and creative ideas Susan. Thank you for another reminder of the goodness of life in your images and words.
