Sitting...

 

Today was about sitting with a friend who needed comfort. She is grieving and just wanted some familiar company to help her mind think of something besides the powerless situation she is in. We spent hours with small talk, and quiet space, after thirty plus years of knowing each other that is enough. I brought her something to nourish her body and left having nourished her spirit... all in all a good day!

Embers...

Something about this cool fall weather, I just want to sit in front of a fire and stare at the embers. I don't know what it is about embers that are so mesmerizing. I could just sit there for hours looking into the fire. And it's always more fun to hang our with family or friends around the fire ~ talking, sharing laughter, eating a meal and just enjoying the company of each other!

You Are...

A couple of years ago I sent for the free stickers that say "you are beautiful" and gave them out to people that I knew. And recently the company came out with a bumper sticker, and I knew I had to have it! My hope is when seeing the sticker it will lighten someone's heart and be a reminder of how beautiful they really are. 

Down Time....

It is so nice to have some down time, meaning no walking unless I want to, no "have to's" or getting up early to get out the door, but just to sit for hours, laugh, share meals with friends, and watch my children and their friends enjoy each others company. I'm soaking up each present moment...

Finally...

Yesterday I finally got a chance to connect with friends I use to see weekly. It had been at least a month or two but it seemed like forever. It was nice to laugh and just sit in each others company. The evening was beautiful just like the time spent together with friends!
