The almost Seussian green of spring lawns
Fresh flowers
The color of fresh flowers
Spring herbs in fresh tomato sauce
Time to read “The Artist’s Way” by Julie Cameron
Carol who introduced it to me
and Rose who learns from its pages too
fresh lavender and cane sugar ground together

The week between classes

10. this

1.  so amazed at the wise members who post here.  I am always uplifted and feel lighter and brighter after reading the messages.  Thank you, thank you

2.  Forgoing golf tonight but we meet a friend for conversation;  we both have sons around the same age;  it is healthy to get together and share

3.  Feeling positive today, more activity, with a light heart

4.  After reading Garrett’s post about improving the workplace, and the importance of communicating, I called my boss with a few questions – first response:  “Yeah, Rose”;  the conversation did improve.   The point being, openness, communication, listening, not practiced by all.

5.  Thankful for the gift of yet another day.

• New stuf on the blog “Celebrate possibilities” like especially the idea of documenting a whole day by photos…everyday miracles
• Guided meditation from Eckhart Tolle tv.
• Mum showing me old newspaper clips and having a good laugh on something my granddad had scribbled on an old obituary annoncement
• Rare big old red shining am chevrolet lined up at our neighbours house
• All this wonderful apps appearing – devices towards loving the inner state’s superiour to whatever is happening. ” Mind fit” i have not tried it, but it is all about appreciating what we are, have a can do today
• I feel softer and lighter on this beautiful spring day…by “I do my best and something bigger does the rest” :0)

It’s early still but I’m wide awake so as Bing(Crosby) says “When I’m tired and I can’t sleep I count my blessings instead of sheep And I’ll fall asleep counting my blessings” Probably by the time I finish this it will be time to get moving but how delightful to crawl back into bed sounds.

For these things I am truly grateful.

Carol-my sister of the heart. Listener,motivator and innovator

The Sound of Music party. Movie on the big screen. Swept away for three hours.

My hubby I owe him a list

My daughter across the gall  more about her next week

Birds welcoming the day. I wonder what they thought of the snowflakes yesterday.

Took the first step of a journey yesterday. I’m afraid but keeping calm.

I’m warm. We have food. There is enough.

Coffee is ready. That’s enough.
