♥Payday...money is ALWAYS nice when you're getting it.
♥The little visitor doggie who got away and lurked just out of reach to see if we are really worthy of her presence. She's baaaaack!
♥Grocery shopping past my bedtime...and the little toddler up past his too who kept me awake making faces at me each time we passed and then giggling in a super contagious way when I'd make faces back.

Thursday's Three...
♥Graduation week...all the excitement, expectation, enthusiasm, tears, hugs, families, friends, laughter, joy, pride...I could go on and on...it's a festival of feelings!!!
♥Connections. Making them. Keeping them going. New. Old. Near. Far. Prompted ones and serendipitous ones...all of 'em. Saying things and smiling about it. Things said back that make the smile even bigger!
♥Sun shining, wind blowing, sky so blue and temperature so...temperate!

All I have time for is Beauty~full~ness
♥PBS...it's not just Sesame Street anymore!
♥These guidelines: 1. Use your thoughts wisely. Understand their power. 2. To create peace, you have to be peaceful. The only way to stop disarmament is to start from within yourself. 3. Imagine all the angels and non-physical beings who are working on the other side to protect and uplift all of us. Know that they can only do their work in an atmosphere of compassion, not condemnation. 4. Avoid watching the news and reading the newspapers. Headlines are designed to keep you afraid and disempowered so that you will buy more papers or watch more TV. 5. Know that when you are tuned into your heart, your Inner Wisdom, and God, then your energy lightens up and your vibration literally changes. You become a beacon of light and peace. You become an uplifter and a peacemaker.
The words above are by my newest girl crush, Christiane Northrup, M.D., PhD.
♥Heading into a long shower in my quiet, peaceful home...and later today my little family comes back together and we get to find a new rhythm with these new responsibilities for momma/grammy.

Three beauty~full things about Monday already!
♥An after sunrise mental health loop around the outskirts of town with the top down and a serendipitous hug from an old friend doing the same thing on his bike...inspiring me to do tomorrow's on babygirl's new beach cruiser!
♥An offer for moonshine in a festival atmosphere...I probably can't drink it and I surely can't go...but the offer ROCKS...and makes me giddy with remembering.
♥A reminder to keep the permission slips handy and write them at will.

Unreadable...unthinkable...unspeakable
I am so much more selfish than I ever thought I could admit. I'm crying today...grieving tears from missing that outing with a lovely, coffee with a witch, my garden, netflix on demand, hours with nothing to do and a convertible to do it in, long showers followed by naps, hikes before the sun gets too hot, spontaneous trips to swimming holes, my fridge full of yummy fresh groceries, my big cloud of a bed.
Me, the traveller, the gypsy hearted hippie...missing my things...and doing the tears of grief thing while my momma, one mile down the road, needs 24 hour care for the next month and cries real tears of physical pain.
So. Selfish.
And so lucky to have a mom.
And so lucky to have a life worth missing.
And still crying.
Geez.

At Seventeen...
17 years ago, this lovely person came into my life...
...and nothing has been the same since, THANK GOD.
My life has been filled with motorcycle helmets and pig tails, mascara and mud fights, adventure and mayhem, softball and cheer leading, cuddles and climbing...full on balls to the wall whirlwind fun, tons of her trouble buddies and hours of lovely heart-wrenching worrying that comes with all of the above.
She's taught me patience, acceptance and how to rise above circumstances that simply are what they are. She embodies confidence, fun, spontaneity and take-me-as-I-am.
She's amazing...and I'm so lucky that she chose me to be her momma.

finding the effing beauty...
♥being in an awkward space, knowing it will pass if I only breathe through it...and the lovely soul who called it beauty that I allowed myself to do just that.
♥the last hurrah sub sandwich supper before nothing by mouth after midnight...and the new hip that will have the honor of carrying my momma through our Ireland adventure next year.
♥old pictures...remembering who we were, where we came from, how it was...and how odd it is to look at that girl and remember her so clearly even though she didn't know me at all...but was fighting her way to get to.
