So lovely to see all your posts this morning! I, too, have wondered about Palm (and here you are), Diane and THenry. Hope you are all doing well and know that you are missed when you don’t visit here. I had so much fun with my granddaughter, Lily, this past weekend on our sleepover. On Sunday, we decided not to go to yoga and stayed in our pj’s all day ???? Lily painted her memorial rocks for Thai, her kitty she lost recently. They will be placed on his final resting place to keep him company in his new world. I hope all of you will enjoy a simple pleasure today. I am off to my yoga practice now and will dedicate my practice to all of you ????

It is so good to see you Diane. We have missed you here. I have worried that it was the pain of your fibromyalgia keeping you away. I am glad to hear it has been abating somewhat for you and I hope the acupuncture will help it even more today. How wonderful that your daughter sees you as the strongest person she knows. It means you are doing your job right and well as a mother. No matter how old our children become they will always be our children. And, we never stop wanting to protect them. Returning a warm hug to you. And, thank you for sharing your beautiful prayer. I hope you have a lovely pain-free day today ❤️

I will keep your friend in good thoughts to beat her cancer. You had better luck with your lonicera fragrantissima than I did with my geraniums that I brought into my home for the winter. I doesn’t help that Kitty likes to nibble on them. We get Canadian Geese here too in Colorado. And it is one of my favorite sounds when I hear them flying over honking. I always stop and listen. It is a sound that warms my heart for some reason. Have a lovely day and I hope you find a simple pleasure to enjoy today. ❤️

Hi Pilgrim! I used to struggle with what my life purpose is but I don’t anymore. I came to realize my purpose is to just enjoy life. Sometimes that is doing the simplest of pleasures. I am also retired for the past two years and I love it. It is worth getting old for! I have been rediscovering my artist side that has been asleep for all the years I was in a corporate environment. It is a pleasure to let that side out again. I am sorry about the pain you experience and hope you find a solution for it that doesn’t involve surgery. I remember in 2013 when I fell and broke my left wrist (required surgery to place a screw) what it means to learn to do things one-handed. I got pretty good at it. Take care and lovely to see you here today ????
