big girl pants, blessed, friends, good life, mug, reflect, snowflake, treasures, widow

on Monday my BS buddies were over and we were catching up on our recent activities…

everyone drinks decaf coffee while I have tea…

I had my new mugs out and one friend was using the snowflake one…

it looks cool in the light and when it is full you can see the liquid through it…

I took this photo the other day of the light reflected in my tea…

made me reflect on how blessed I am with wonderful friends and so many treasures in my life;-)…

reimagined…

big girl pants, connect, fish, moment, orchid, Pause, reflect, reimagined, Robert Leider

recently came across an article which struck a chord… I subscribe to a newsletter which often gives me Pause to think…

this time it led to an article by Richard Leider on reimagining one’s future at any stage in life…

what struck me particularly in this article was the piece about living in the moment… 

for the past number of years I have been working hard to be in the moment as often as possible…

sometimes I am very successful and other times, not so much…

other points in the article resonated as well… 

connecting was one… I have been contemplating retirement, but feel that if I were to stay home I might turn into a hermit, lol… not a good plan… I enjoy what I do as well as the people I do it with… I want to go to work each day and hope to work until I don’t have that feeling anymore…

choice was another… these last three years I have stepped out of my comfort zone many times and done things I never would have imagined… like writing a blog… eating at a restaurant on my own… looking after my home…

Life Reimagined feels like what I’ve been living for the last while, without even knowing…

also made me giggle a bit as much of this is what the ReImagining group I am part of has been doing for over twenty years…

tonight I took a moment to check on my orchid and have a good look at it… it has more blooms and I got a nice shot of it with the fish tank in the background…

  

It’s cold out there…

cold weather, hot tub, precious moments, reflect, sitting in the dark, stars move across the sky

hot tubweather has been very cold…  so cold that I’ve hardly been out to the hot tub…  I miss going out and watching the stars move through the sky as I reflect on my day, week, month, year, life…

there is something special about sitting in the dark and contemplating life… when you are with another person you often share the deepest parts of yourself in the dark… seems like there is safety in the cocoon of night…

a lovely moonlit night at the Park...

a lovely moonlit night at the Park…

so many special times have happened in the car on trips when the kids would share something precious with us…

I miss that connection these days but also spend some time conversing with George in my head…  I was just saying to a friend that I miss that comraderie of sharing most…

well, as long as I don’t start talking out loud to myself when I’m in the hot tub…
