had a quiet and relaxed day on Christmas…

got up late for me, about eight;-)… made tea and watched a Christmas movie while I had my breakfast and waited for the Ottawa family to contact me…

after some technical difficulties, we had a lovely visit and opened presents;-)… technology really is an amazing thing…

after saying goodbye to them, I got the chicken into the oven and may have watched another Christmas movie, lol…

my grandson arrived home from one set of parents, we opened gifts, and had a lovely lunch…

then he was off to visit the other set of parents and I may have had a nap…

tv shows and leftovers took up the rest of the day…

been pondering how life can change in the blink of an eye…

there I was on Saturday, going for a walk, and then suddenly unable to walk…

luckily I am recovering very nicely, but spending five hours in the Emergency Room and having to use crutches for just three days has opened my eyes to difficulties that others face…

I expect a full recovery… I am now using a cane, but just for a short while, as my knee improves… and I’m able to take the time to recover properly…

of course I have to remember to take it slow and steady, lol…

I’ve been thinking of people who I know who are in the midst of difficult times…

sometimes it weighs heavy…

I’ve also been thinking of my beloved… as always the grief comes for no apparent reason… looking forward to getting to the other side…

this is the view from our bench at the Park… was happy to spend a few minutes there last week…

have had a few conversations recently with individuals who are going through some big struggles…

some are missing loved ones… seems like November can be an especially difficult month… maybe it is the cold and dark… for me it has to do with family birthdays and colder weather…

some are going through family trauma… could be issues with children or partners or parents…

some are dealing with difficulties at work… too much, not enough…

lots going on for many… need to spend a bit of time sending love and healing thoughts their way…

but happy to have had the moments to connect with these special individuals…

things can change in the blink of an eye…

recently a number of women in my circles have been dealing with very difficult situations… loss of parents, illness of partners and children, employment concerns…

often there is little to do besides sending positive energy and love over the airwaves… spending time holding them in thought and prayer feels like a good use of time…

good to remember to smell the roses, or in this case, tulips…

for the last few weeks I have had a number of people in my heart and thoughts…

February always seems to be a hard month, and a number of people in my circle and on the periphery have been dealing with health and personal issues…

knowing how others are struggling always helps me remember how truly blessed I am…

illness, loss, stress, family difficulties… it is good for me to spend time sending healing thoughts through the airwaves to those I know well or who are connected in some way to those I love and care about…

for the last week or so I have been working on a project for one of them…

reminded me of the contentment that working on something handmade for others can bring… need to get back into that habit…

how lucky I am to have the time…
