What a GORGEOUS morning!!! Not a cloud in the sky...a slight breeze...birds singing...& children are already playing outside. What are you waiting for?! Go PLAY!!! I have to replenish my stock of bubbles & then I will spend some time watching their swirling colors of magical light...probably as I sit on my blanket by the water. Yes...a beautiful day! Have FUN!:)

Last night, I slept out on the balcony again!! It is such a simply JOY!! I brought my candle out there(battery operated...so safe;)),sleeping bag, comforter & pillows. I listened to the symphony of crickets, watched the flicker of my candle on the wall, heard the rain, & felt the breeze dance all around!!! The enJOYment of really being present in the moment...priceless!! Why don't you try that with your morning cup of coffee? Feel the warmth in your hands, smell the deliciousness, feel the lip of the cup as you sip, the steam as it hits your face.... enJOY!!!!

What a glorious sun-filled day! Going to enjoy the beauty of all that nature has to offer today...going to go for a walk in the woods, lay under a tree & watch the clouds drift, & spend some time with friends listening to live music outside this evening. What could be better? Hope you get your fill of sunSHINE today & that you get to do what makes you SMILE! Go PLAY!!!

This beautiful morning, a friend of mine is being buried...I didn't know her for very long, but she & I had a special connection to which I am truly grateful to have experienced. When I met her, she had already been dealing with much physical pain which seemed to be never ending. I admired her for her strength, courage, & the love she had for her family....she will be missed & yet I am grateful too that she is no longer in pain...that she is free. Today, make it the BEST day EVER...Life is too precious to waste...& be grateful for the blessings you have...health, family, friends, love...
