I’ve been laughing to myself off and on over the last few weeks whenever I looked at the lights in the front window…

I set up the timer twice, but of course, not correctly… I have watched it come on and go off at the oddest times… instead of going off at 11:30 pm, it might come on then… or just stay off… or just stay on… or…

so, yesterday morning, once again I reset the time and tried to get it set to the schedule where it comes on at 4 pm and goes off at 11:30 pm… this time I ignored the directions and just tried to figure it out…

so far, fingers crossed, it has come on and gone off at the correct time…

I am so proud, lol… and my son-in-law will be astonished…

beauty…

this morning my beautiful colleague and I spent some time laughing about our day…

  
we’ve been working on an all consuming project but can still laugh and have fun… she is a joy to work with…

she loves flowers and has the most amazing ability to arrange them…

I picked some up last week and yesterday she completely transformed them into another lovely arrangement…

  
I can hardly wait until tomorrow when we will be in a place with very beautiful flowers…

 

I think she is going to enjoy the beauty, lol… should be fun…

raced home from work, although I did stop to top up the gas tank… it was on less than a quarter of a tank, which makes me nervous… all filled up now… didn’t even seem like that big of a job, as I continue with those big girl pants I am getting used to some of the things that I had never done previously…

even this morning when I drove downtown and parked in a different parking lot and used my credit card to pay for the day I didn’t worry about it at all…

got home and put out the cushions on the chairs in the garden and the first of our group arrived… tonight there were six of us… we can go up to 11 or 12…

had a lovely dinner from Homer’s on the deck, with delicious mini cupcakes from the Cupcake Corner, yum…

dinner on the deck and then we moved inside for our program...

dinner on the deck and then we moved inside for our program…

we read about Celtic August celebrations and talked about what we hungered for and what filled us up…

these wonderful women continue to amaze me with their insight and depth… when we are together there is always laughter, and often tears, but this is a safe place where we can be our true selves and no one judges… we are there to support one another in whatever way is needed at the time…

the garden was admired with the new pond and the plantings, as well as the bubbles around the space from the party… now I will take the decorations down and hopefully have it all done over the weekend…

wonderful evening… I am filled up…

great evening…

Monday night I had dinner and spent time with my ReImagining friends…

it is always wonderful when we gather…  we take turns hosting, some more than others, depending on our current situations… someone looks after the dinner and someone else leads our program… there are lots of hugs, deep sharing, lots of laughter, and often tears…

we had a lovely chilli with all kinds of toppings, salad, ice cream with chocolate sauce; checked in around the table; had a short program, and then we finished reading our book…

we lit candles in celebration of Candlemas and Valentine’s Day…

lit candles...

lit candles…

then we looked over a number of offerings for our next read…

we have moved from programs that were on a variety of topics, and took a fair bit of time to prepare, to simpler gatherings…  the important thing is to be together and so recently we have been reading out loud and discussing guided questions…  no one has homework, and we get done what we get done… often a simple question will take us off into a wonderful discussion of life… what insights we share…

these women have been part of my life for at least twenty-five years and provide a powerful sense of home when I am with them… after the last week it was very healing to be with them…

really, how blessed am I…
