just a few things that made it home from the market…
Cauliflower | Collard Greens | Tomatoes | Onions | Thomcord Grapes | Green Peppers | Kale
I went shopping with a post-birthday, champagne headache yesterday. With a full day planned, I realized, early, that my patience was in short supply and very little meandering would be allowed. Shoulders were quickly shrugged and I was on to the next stall.
Then, I saw those Thomcord grapes. I saw them and smiled wide. I picked up a few. Chatted and smiled some more.
Just as easily and quickly as I know things aren’t for me, I know when they are. Those grapes. Those grapes were dark and lovely. I knew they would make me giggle as they burst with all kinds of memories and a bit of longing.
One of the things that I love about going to the market is that I get a chance to be excited about simple things without being dismissive of the emotions, as if they have to be or do something more to be deserving of joy. I let myself experience the pleasure I get from delighting my senses. Things are just beautiful. Or taste amazing. Or make me happy.
There’s no ‘enough’ attached to the Thomcord grapes. There are no grand plans, either. I’ll just wash them and nibble, until they disappear.
