I’ve been using Saturday as my lazy day… 

trying to make time on Fridays to have a meal or visit with friends and book any appointments I may need, so relaxing on Saturday makes sense… 

soccer is over so the kids will be coming again for dinner on Sundays… I try to do grocery shopping and a few chores around the house that day as well…

today I barely got off my butt… it was beautiful outside but couldn’t even get up the energy to go out to sit for a while…

eventually I went out and brought in the six plants that need to overwinter in the house… 

not sure how I feel about the ones I’ve put in front of the living room window… could be blocking the view too much…

think these might be okay, although I may move the one in the dining room…

will see how it goes…

did have some fun with my lunch… read that today was guacamole day so decided to have it as part of my meal…

used roast beef slices as the bread and made a sandwich with guacamole, lettuce and tomatoes… tasty, lol…

even managed to fit in some chips…

rather fun…

big girl pants, different, expectations, open, reminder, steeple, stuck, view, widow

been thinking about different points of view… and how important it is to be open to looking at things from another perspective…

had a few opportunities lately to think about, and look at, things from another angle… it is good to be reminded that there are many ways to see things…

sometimes I can get stuck on one idea, and not be able to see some of the other ways of looking at it…

at lunch today was looking at the steeple from a different view…

same steeple, but different…

a great reminder not to expect others to be a certain way…

nice view…

big girl pants, envision, friends, kitchen, light, open mind, snow, sun, view, widow

the sun was shining brightly into the living room tonight as I sat waiting for my friends to arrive… four of the five of us were going to be together…

  
so amazing to be sitting in the bright light at seven thirty at night… yay… 

unfortunately there is still a bit of snow on the ground…

received the first drawings of the kitchen today… trying to look at them and decide whether it is just what I want…

  
interesting to see the kitchen from someone else’s point of view… 

been doing a lot of looking at things with an open mind lately and need to stay in that state of mind…

it is so easy to only see things the way you’ve done them for ages… much more difficult to envision possibilities…

need to keep that open mind…

big girl pants, camera, iPhone, orchid, photoshoot, teammate, view, widow

this morning I wanted to take a few pictures in the living room… the hyacinth is almost in full bloom and the orchid is quite lovely…

my camera wouldn’t work… tried all the things I could think of but nothing seemed to make a difference…

was very stressed because we were going to a photoshoot and I wanted to record the process with pictures…  


finally put the camera away and used my iPhone… this was my view of the new orchid… beautiful…

the photoshoot went well… I find it fun to watch the photography team work with the client…

  

my view of them keeping the conversation going to relax the person being photographed…

  
my teammate produced a smile even as she was feeling stress about the whole process… she really didn’t want to have her picture taken…

  
checking out how the shots came out…

when it was my turn we talked about how much easier it is to be behind the camera as opposed to in front of it… I posed as requested and didn’t bother to see how they came out… one thing I’ve learned is that the person in the picture isn’t usually able to see how great they look, so I was happy to trust the professionals…

watching Ian take the pictures you could often see when he knew he had the photo he wanted… in my own way sometimes I have that feeling…

he had a peek at my camera and figured out that one of the buttons was stuck… I couriered it over to a local repair shop and hope they can fix it… haven’t heard back yet…

amaryllis, big girl pants, Facebook, flowers, moment, moon, orchid, planet, snow, view

woke up at 1:30 am to see the moon shining through the window… just above it and off to the side was a bright planet… a few seconds later it was covered by clouds… again, amazing to wake up at just the right moment to see the beautiful view…

then, on our way to the office, I got this view…

  
a Facebook memory this morning from four years back showed this lovely amaryllis… I had taken the picture looking out the window at the snow…

  
here is a picture of the amaryllis that I bought this year around Christmas… showed a beautiful pale pink flower on the box…

  
sadly, not a single blossom…

but the amazing thing is that the orchid continues to bloom… I so love flowers in the depths of winter…

  
more beautiful moments in my life…
