Throughout the week I’ve felt grateful for:
…Enjoying the last of the honeysuckles blooming in the garden. Since these pictures were taken, they’re almost all done now. I keep smelling the last few still blooming. I’m savoring that scent because it will be a year before I get to smell it again.
.
…Singing as loud as I want to when I’m by myself in the car. Sometimes when I try to sing in front of other people my voice gets squeaky or it can feel like my throat stops making noise, but when I sing by myself I can really belt it out and it feels really good.
.
…Bracken building a fort in the fig tree and surrounding bushes and then loving it so much he asked us if we could bring him dinner out there so he could eat it in his fort. (We agreed on breakfast instead- less mosquitoes.)
.
…Communication clearing up confusion and misunderstanding.
.
…Bracken putting his hand on my arm while I was reading to him and then falling asleep that way. What a precious feeling.
.
…Being better about my time management when I needed to get out the door in the morning. (Sometimes I have to keep myself from doing just one more thing before we leave because that one more thing can turn into a bunch more things.)
.
…My mom joining a group of volunteers to clean the beach near where she lives in Florida and making it safer for the animals there.
.
…Slowing down, getting grounded at home, and taking some time for self-care. This week that meant breaks from work to go on walks outside with my family. Sometimes I stand in one place for too long (like the kitchen sink) and my body needs to get moving.
.
…Jeff supporting me in trusting my intuition. And being a good listener while I talk things out, and understanding me so well.
.
…Making progress unpacking and organizing after our show. Somehow it felt like our house shrunk and there wasn’t room for our display pieces anymore, so I’m working on some new organizational ideas to make better use of our space and find more places for things to be stored.
.
…Any acts of kindness, peace, and love that I witness in the world.
