Today, and this past week, I am grateful for:
Spring rain- I love sitting on the porch and watching it pour down. It smells wonderful and you can practically see the plants smile as they open up and soak it in.
Getting all of my flower pots filled and some tomatoes planted. Knowing that Scott and Sam will take good care of them while I am out of town.
Scott asking me out on a dinner date before I leave for Washington.
Sam healing very well after his surgery. I know he will be fine while I am gone. He was able to walk some yesterday and today came down the stairs on his own.
Scott's Dad calling almost everyday to see how Sam is doing.
Having a childlike reaction to my Mom simply saying "oh" when I called to tell her that Sam had surgery. I am grateful for my ability to see my reaction as part of my old pain of feeling unnurtured as a child. The truth is that Sam does not expect that from her. I still have a mental list of what she "should" do but I know it is my list and not hers.
Really seeing my Mom as the wounded person she is. She does not know how to make connections or reach out to people but she does love very deeply. I see this fear and resistance in myself and I am working to change it. I am grateful for all that she is and does and choose not to focus on the lack. I will be making a 12 hour drive through three states with my Mom next week so I am very grateful to have the time to get centered about this.
My trip to Washington/Oregon/Idaho: Seeing Michelle in her whale filled paradise, going to a big cook out/camp out at my sisters house, spending a LOT of time with my Mom and seeing my step-grandmother along with many extended relatives.
Our first yoga session at the center.
Michelle's blog and photos of her adventure. I love Washington and I love Michelle for sharing it all with us. Pure beauty
English muffins with peanut butter and bananas
Ferry rides
Flower gardens and shade trees.
Friendships that just are.
