as the weather is getting cooler (in what seems to be) daily, I’m enjoying some of the great benefits that Indi provides…

instead of turning up the heat, I just turn on the seat warmer… a toasty bottom makes all of me feel warm, lol…

and I love the warmer on my steering wheel… don’t need my little gloves just yet;-)…

although I wish the entire wheel was warmed…

technology;-)…

I’ve been going to physio for the last few weeks…

my knee issue was likely caused by a hip displacement situation, as one of my friends would say, lol…

today Val put heat on my hips and ice under my knee while I was waiting to see Michael… I had a lovely relaxing time before he arrived to work on me…

after he did a few checks on my legs and hips, he showed me a few exercises to follow… unless I have further issues I do not need to go back…

watching others come and go I was reminded of how truly lucky I am… as painful as it was, my knee/hip was only an issue for a few weeks… so many are dealing with ongoing problems that will not fix themselves, ever…

I am truly blessed and happy that I can recognize that…

I’ve been thinking of beginnings and endings a lot lately…

a friend recently lost a loved one and it has reminded me of my own story…

the ending of my beloved’s time here was a very difficult matter to deal with…

and I think of the beginning of my new journey and how things have changed in my life…

I am slightly more independent… can even park in the garage with ease, lol… have been able to travel… so many positive changes…

everyday is a new opportunity…

milestone…

today marked ten years at my current workplace… a lot has happened in those ten years and these people are part of my family…

a big deal to me… and so I had lots of fun preparing for the day…

I wrote notes, distributed flowers, and made a lovely lunch of Thai Shrimp soup along with salad, fresh bread and tarts from La Belle Baguette for dessert…

not every day you can celebrate such a milestone…

it is such fun to walk around and see flowers everywhere;-)…

my beloved would have enjoyed helping me with this special event… I truly am blessed…

last night I had dinner with a trio of special women, two of whom I just met, lol…

I had soup and five mini crab cakes with roasted garlic mayo, apple salad and mixed greens… very tasty… everyone else had scallops…

after a relaxing meal we travelled to the Cirque du Soleil tent on Kenaston to see Amaluna…

it was excellent… I’m always amazed at the flexibility of the performers and what they can make their bodies do… it was also fun to see a performance under the big top, which reminded me again of my first time at Cirque du Soleil in Montreal many years ago;-)…

a wonderful treat…

stopped what I was doing yesterday to look up into the sky and watch the geese fly overhead on their way to rest for the night…

they are filling up as they prepare for their trip south…

the sound is strident, but also energizing…

I have learned to appreciate the little moments in my life…

this morning I got this shot of the hibiscus…

one flower was fully open and the second flower was just unfurling…

I was home a bit early at the end of the day as I had to get my ear checked out at the doctor’s office… I spent a few minutes enjoying the hibiscus…

the second flower had unfurled as well…

I get to walk past the hibiscus, morning glories and mandevilla on my way to and from the garage…

so blessed to have such a special garden…

atmosphere…
