Comfort food – a fare in our house about once a week – it offers me the luxury of "fixing and forgetting". A coarsely chopped onion, irregular cubes of potatoes, chicken broth, butter, half and half, a sprinkling of herbs and spices (some straight from my ever-growing garden) and a crockpot of potato soup is soon slowly steaming. Popping a small blackberry cobbler into the oven, I am out of the kitchen until dinner when, a quick, green salad is tossed and onto the table, along with freshly cubed, seedless watermelon and sliced strawberries. My mind wandering as it often does, I thank the Lord for my fully equipped kitchen – easy to maneuver and pleasant to occupy. End of the week – dinner planned and nearly done – I have the rest of the day to complete tasks on my list and prepare for the weekend – a comforting thought, indeed!
My given name translates "reflector of light" hence, I shall be Moonbeam, which is a reflection of light. My endeavor is to write entries that reflect the light of all that surrounds me. I trust that by reading my blogs, you will be enlightened and lifted.

A Comforting Thought
