Thomas loved our date day hike yesterday. Some of his thoughts while we were way up there … “I could stay out here forever. I feel like I can do anything. This is the best day of my life. I am so glad that we did this. And he thanked the sun for warming us (it was cold)!!”
Now he wants to go hiking on the Tahoe Rim Trail and become a member of the 160 mile club. I think that sounds like an awesome idea for this young man … and his Mamma!!

One day not long ago, Thomas asked, “What if someone throws away the anonymous HappY Message we left for them?”
I told him we can’t control what people do with kindness after we share it with them and we don’t want to let that stop us from spreading happYness and kindness.
Keep on spreading it as you feel moved …

“Do you know what associative thinking means?” ~Thomas asked this of me today ….
Not so I could give him the answer. So that he could tell me what it means.
I just spent some time online learning more about it. I LOVE getting to be student to this young man!! xoxoxo

Going for a walk and hanging out in trees. Thomas and I had a wonderful walk this afternoon.
Thomas’ friend told him that he should live in a mansion when he earns a million dollars. Thomas told him he’d be living in a tiny place just like where we live now. “Why?”, his friend asked. Thomas answered, “Because I like it and I can.” Love, sweet love. xoxo

“If we had a house made out of chocolate and potato medallions, I’d live there forever.” ~Thomas Darnell ….
They kind of like the new way I’ve been cooking potatoes; slicing similar to scalloped potatoes, tossing in olive oil, sea salt or pink salt, ground ginger, and fresh rosemary and baking in the oven.
I agree with Thomas. It was such a satisfying dinner tonight. I felt so deeply grateful with a happy tummy. I had curry soup made with potatoes, carrots, and butternut squash with a side salad of cucumber, beets, black olives, onions, pickles, and nutritional yeast topped with a fig balsamic AND some of those yummy potato medallions too!!
