for Advent my daughter sent me a collection of watercolour cards with quotations on the back… she painted each one and hand printed the sayings… I haven’t heard yet where she found them…

I had decided that this year I would spend time each morning being grateful for a particular thing, but didn’t have a list… that was as far as I’d got, lol…

I’ve found that the quotes on the cards have prompted me just enough to choose a topic…

it has been very cathartic…

here are a few of my favourites so far…

certainly a lovely way to begin the day…

had a wonderful final day of work…

I’d spent time planning what I would like to do, and was able to accomplish everything on my list;-)…

spent time individually with each person on staff, thanking them for our time together, and listening to some of their stories…

lots of fun taking selfies with each person after our visit… missed the one person who wasn’t in the office…

had lunch with a very special woman and ended the day taking a final group photo and receiving gifts…

to top off the day, picked up Chinese food and had dinner with a few good friends…

last night we brought home the last of the plants, which included two good sized orchids…

it has been bitterly cold the last few days, but it appears that they made the trip okay… my colleague warmed up the car and the plants were wrapped with plastic… both of these directives were provided by our office plant whisperer;-)…

tonight the final collection of items consisted of two boxes and my artwork…

we were especially careful with my canvas because I plan to replace the one that is currently on the purple living room wall…

tomorrow I won’t have anything to bring home, other than me...

counting down these last few working days…

today I wrote procedures, did a bit of training, tidied files, and boxed up a number of my plants…

clearly I should have moved the plants last week when it was around zero… today is was -27…

it looks like they made it okay… I’ve emptied the box and tomorrow I will bring home the remaining plants;-)…

and then we will see…

had a delightful afternoon with a dear friend…

she makes decorating for the season so much fun… both of us are team players and we work well together…

we did some of the usual set-ups and then tried something new… we hung a collection of wreaths together on the wall… looks good…

I can’t even say how many collections I have… more and more I am bringing out less and less… I think that January and February might be a good time to go through the boxes and pass many items along to others…

the living room looks lovely and spending time together brought out my holiday spirit;-)…

beauty is surrounding me… blessed…

first thing in the morning the orchids and hibiscus greet me… it is exciting to see which ones are getting ready to open… wondering how many might open at once…

at the office more orchids are blooming…

more are getting buds;-)…

recently a few people have commented on the plants in the office…

my space is filled with orchids, violets and other greenery…

I always give credit to our plant whisperer who keeps the green things extra green…

I also mention how much I enjoy my orchids… sometimes they bloom a second and third time… it is so exciting when that happens…

lovely to spend my day in a garden;-)..

went for a pedicure with a great friend who I hadn’t seen in quite a while…

it was lovely to spend time together and catch up on one another’s goings on…

when I first started getting pedicures they were very difficult as my feet are sensitive and it was hard to sit through all the cutting, filing, and pushing that is part of the process…

recently that hasn’t been a problem, but this time one foot was just so sensitive that I could barely stand the process…

my esthetician rewarded me with an extra long massage when it was all done;-)…

and I have pretty toes again…

got this shot of the morning glories before leaving for the office…

not only can you see the bloom that opened this morning (purple) but yesterday’s one as well (pink)… even a few mandevilla blossoms are visible…

good thing because it has been raining since leaving the office…

I am over-the-moon with excitement…

some time ago I realized that I hadn’t planted any morning glories and was very sad because I really love the flowers… the inner light is mesmerizing…

recently I realized that some seeds from last summer had sprouted in a large container of soil that was sitting under the deck… they hadn’t had any water or sunlight but were growing…

I moved the pot out into the sun and made sure to put water in it… and watched it every day…

a week ago I saw what looked to be buds and I’ve examined them each day to see what would happen… since then we’ve had quite a bit of rain, overcast skies, and cooler temperatures, so I’ve been worried they wouldn’t bloom…

but… this is what happened…

I spent extra time in the garden today sitting and enjoying the purple flowers…

I am in my happy place… flowers really do make me happy;-)…
