Une motto: Patience



"If it is right, it happens - the main thing is not to hurry.  Nothing good gets away."

- John Steinbeck

This goes right to the top of my list.  You must read the full letter this quote is from, here.  Steinbeck wrote so wisely and tenderly about falling in love, of honesty and of having patience. This wisdom, I think, can be applied to so much of life.

Gorgeous scents

 
 

The smell of fresh white fresias and a 2005 shiraz from the Hunter by Iron Gate Estate.  Beautiful way to end the long weekend.  And being pleasantly surprised at how well the vintage has aged, is a nice way to drink in the 'turning 30' thought process.
