Protecting our privacy is good, they say. Still the need for it makes me sad. Nameless, if you will.
Owning a cat reduces your risk of heart attack or stroke, but don’t try to outrun them.
When we run a race, do we start at the finish line? I LOVE the movie, Groundhog Day. In fact it might be my favourite of all time, but the day? What a ridiculous idea. We can’t skip over winter to get to spring. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER NO MATTER WHAT! This is Canada, for goodness sake. Nature has to run the race. We can’t start at finish line. That’s the theme of the movie. Settle in. Take steps over and over. You’ll get there.
I’m more comforted to feel that the Great Power is not separate and apart from me, and that it lies within us all. I find that to be a more tenable position in hard times, because then there’s no questioning or pointing fingers at a force outside of ourselves.
Winter is here, but it has been too “warm” (a relative term) to produce ice thick enough to support people on the Rideau Canal Skateway—the world’s largest skating rink. The conditions did produce this natural beauty though.
Love this idea. It’s exactly what I need today, every day.
I just did it now – my son brought home chocolate from Iceland – delicious, there’s a red squirrel bopping around my back yard, and the morning light is shining on the picture of my grandmother. Ahhhh . . .
Perfect post! I just launched another blog post today and breathed a sigh of relief that I had no glitches with sending my newsletter. Soon I’ll prepare breakfast and write more in my gratitude book, a habit I hope never, ever to break. 😀
A gratitude book is an excellent idea. It is a great way to lift spirits when we’re feeling down.
Thanks for that! I was rushing with making dinner, baking some cookies, hanging clothes from the dryer, and reading blogs! I just took three breaths. I feel SO much better. xo
Oh, I am glad that was helpful ❤️
This post is a good reminder of the importance of taking the time to recenter and recharge.
Every day!
Aw I love this post 💕
Thank you so much. I hope you found beauty, reassurance or inspiration around you.
My pleasure!
