I want to let all of you know that whenever I am feeling any angst, anger, frustration or any other negative feeling and come here – all those feelings just evaporated ❤️

Back of rock too. Thank you for letting me share ???? ????

Sharing another painted rock with you, if you don’t mind. This is painted for my massage therapist who I will see on February 16 for my monthly massage. It is around her birthday so I painted this for her since she loves dragonflies.

Today I am grateful and excited for a visit and sleepover with my granddaughter. I know she wants to paint a memorial rock for the burial site of her recently lost kitty. We will get into general mischief and eat ice cream! Tomorrow we will go to my yoga practice together. Wishing all of you peace and many blessings today. Hope you find a simple pleasure to enjoy today. ❤️ ????

I will find my gift of silence on my morning walk under the stars before the rest of the world is awake and bustling. It is a great meditation time for me.

What a handsome face ❤️ I love the hearts of animals.

I love your idea of taking a shamanic journey when you find yourself with a moment or two to yourself. I remember when my daughter was young and I was still married, it wasn’t often that I had a moment to myself. But, when I did, I always spent it just being instead of all the list of things I thought I would do in that moment to myself. Glad to hear you are ok and wishing your children to be well again. Happy birthday to your 14th year old son!

Beautiful simple pleasures are the best in life for me. Thank you for sharing yours, Cintia, with us ????

I have not read any of her books but my books to read list is growing expansively! Just recently I have added Care of the Soul and the Original Self by Thomas Moore, Classical Greek Mythology, and Speak What We Feel by Frederick Buechner just to name of few. Also, Thich Nhat Hanh is someone I want to explore – his words are very timely for me. I look forward to enjoying Anne Lamott’s books and will chuckle when I read your thread on loving GW Bush ????

Dear Aine – Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. What a wonderful gift you gave that little boy and what a beautiful heart you have. I can’t imagine anyone saying that it was just a dog. Every pet I have ever had holds such a special place in my heart. Their memories never fade from my heart ever! They love so unconditionally. Thank you for your big hug – received! I will post my granddaughter’s (Lily) rocks to share. Have a lovely day. ❤️

Sweet precious kitty ❤️ thank you for sharing. Sweet dreams Aine.

Thank you, Anna. It is something I enjoy doing that is for sure. And, I love sharing them here with all of you. Have a lovely day ????

Yes – I use acrylic paint and oil-base paint pens. They are said not to fade. I also apply an acrylic clear coating. All of which should prevent fading if placed outside.

Thank you, Palm. It is a very enjoyable activity for me.

I just listened to Anne Lamott and enjoyed it very much. I will make a list for myself of everything I know to be true. I also plan to listen to it again. Have a wonderful day ????

Thank you for sharing Aine. I have found the link and will enjoy listening to it.

It is Barbara – so wonderful. Sometimes I see shooting stars (and make a wish on every one!) and have conversations with owls! And a walk by the light of the full moon is magical.
