Rhubarb Pocket Tarts

Fresh from our garden...





and then hot from the oven!




Sadly, they aren't as "pretty" as I would have liked them to be. They look a bit gritty due to the spelt/gluten free flour combo I used. Gotta keep working on that!

Fortunately, they ARE still mighty tasty!

Perspective can be everything

Interested in a little lunchtime viewing perhaps?

In this TED talk, Rory Sutherland suggests that "the circumstances of our lives actually matter less to our happiness than the sense of control we feel over our lives". That, with just a "small change of posture" (I love that image!), one can completely reinvent the interpretation of how something is perceived/received. It truly is up to us. So, had a bad day? Frustrated with someone? See if you can't find a different perspective to take on the situation.

As Keir and I continue to navigate our way through our own job search process (or as Mr. Sutherland puts it "explore the hidden shallows of the human perspective"),  this talk is a great reminder to stay positive and keep exploring those "shallows"!
