the last few days I’ve been watching the sky on my travels to and from the office…

a few mornings the sun has been sending rays through the clouds… of course I never get to take pictures on the drive…

this particular picture is from the night we went to a soccer game close to me… the sky that night was a show of great views… in the end the game was cancelled due to lightning… I really liked the sun shining down through the clouds…

the sun against the blue sky in the evenings has been lovely as well…

I was looking through my photos to find a picture that would show the beauty…

the pinks and blues of this shot last Friday don’t really replicate the amazing colour that evening…

it is always wonderful to take the time to enjoy the beauty around us…

more and more I focus on those moments…

beloved, big girl pants, birthday, blessed, flowers, memories, sentiments, sun, widow

very early this morning, as I was waking up, I heard the geese fly overhead… what a lovely way to begin my birthday…

sunshine and warm temperatures also contributed to a great day…

had a rose and balloons and a card filled with lovely sentiments…

throughout the day texts came, phone calls of people singing happy birthday, emails, Facebook posts, a gift card…

all of which made me feel very special…

missing my beloved but wearing those big girl pants, lol…

and as I write this, more geese are flying overhead…

I truly am blessed…

last night on my way home I picked up an iTunes card so that I could upgrade one of my apps, and now I have some more shapes to play with for pictures, lol…

enjoyed a quiet day watching Olympics and napping…

I did run over to Total Wrapture to have the shellac removed from my fingernails…

for some reason the beautiful white French manicure turned a strange shade of yellow/orange… the aesthetician had never seen anything like it… that’s me… special… although the polish didn’t chip, my nails do not feel great now that it has been scraped off…

the sunshine made me think it was warm out, but with the wind, it was rather chilly…

final other activity was to take some pictures of my flowers in the sunlight…

that yellow ball in the sky really does brighten everything up;-)…

catch…

the sun shone all day even though it was fairly cold, which I discovered when I ran out to do an errand just after lunch…

the light really perks up my spirit…

this afternoon I got a few shots of a lovely bouquet in the office…

when I arrived home the moon was hanging right over the garage as I drove in…

tomorrow night into the early morning there is going to be a spectacular lunar display – a super moon, a blood moon and an eclipse… try to have a look when it is happening if you can… hoping for clear skies;-)…

just a few minutes later I caught this sky in the opposite direction…

lovely to have the moments to catch and enjoy the beauty around me…

I continue my focus on being in the moment…

this morning I stopped and turned on the garage light so I could get a few shots of the hoarfrost on the windows…

it was something like -41 at the time, lol…

throughout the day I enjoyed a few special moments as well… the sun was shining through some windows and I was able to spend a moment basking in the light… over lunch I sat in the sun and felt the warmth on my body…

every time I answered the phone I remembered a former colleague who said she always put a smile on her face before picking up the phone because it made her sound happy…

it was a good day…

sleep…

anxious, beloved, big girl pants, garden, hot tub, memories, moments, photos, sky, sleep, snow, stressed, sun, sunset, widow

have been feeling stressed for the last few days… wasn’t until Facebook reminded me this morning that it has been five years and eight months since my beloved left me that I put two and two together…

had the worst sleep – or lack thereof – last night… was anxious and couldn’t settle down…

now that I know what the stressor is likely I can settle down… that’s what usually happens anyway…

finally had a hot tub this morning… been having some issues with the temperature dropping so plan to have someone out to give it a look… but this morning it was at just the correct temp…

had to climb through the snow to get there, lol…

at one point during the day the sun came out and shone brightly in the garden and I got this pic…

sun and shadow are so beautiful…

later on the sunset was lovely…

hoping for a better night’s sleep…

the sky was filled with clouds at the start and at the end of the day…

although they were the same, they were also completely different…

last night there was a sun dog in the sky as we headed to a volleyball game…

it was quite spectacular and very odd as usually we see sun dogs in cold weather…

so much to see when you look up;-)…

spectacular…

had a spectacular Friday off…

woke up later than normal (which in itself, is a treat) to sunshine and warm temperatures…

and lots of blooming flowers… what a treat…

out for a walk around the English and Leo Mol Gardens…

must have spent ten minutes watching all the painted ladies flitting about in the sunlight…

then lunch at The Park Cafe with a special friend and her baby…

and that was just the morning;-)…

first thing this morning the sky was amazing…

then I went out and took a quick spin around the garden… got a few shots of flowers, although they are getting a bit irritated with the cold temperatures early in the morning…
