Movie Night: Frozen II

April 11 2020

Team TLC movie night – Lillian’s choice: “Frozen II”

Lillian says, “Good, liked the songs and music, favorite character is Elsa, funny in some parts, emotional, and suspenseful.”

I say, “It was okay. Glad I watched it with Lillian.”

Thomas watched it, but has nothing to say.

Eight Years in the Making Along with Creating Mini Poems

February 22 2020

8 years in the making …. Team TLC – Thomas, Lillian, Camilla … 3 family members …. 4 published books …. There are more to come. However, I need to take this year to press the reset button, for my physical health and for the emotional health of Thomas and Lillian. We’ve drifted from the Team in our Team TLC; which I know will happen as they get older. Yet, I’ve let vital areas slip by the wayside over the past 4 or 5 years, especially this last year.

One major struggle is about to end for us. Once that gift is showered upon us, the rebuilding of Team TLC begins. Of course it will look and feel different than when Thomas and Lillian were younger, and that’s the beauty of it, tempered with the longing of the way it used to be.

I get the feeling the next book will be authored by all three of us. We shall see. I never really know until I become focused on the book’s creation. xoxo

There were days
She could see no reason to continue

There were days
Shrouded in darkness and despair

There were days
Bubbling with joy and love

There were days
She knew the reason to continue

These were the days
The 18,250 days of riding the wheels of her life.

Creating more mini poems and messages to hide in Words of Alchemy. Tedious Yet, there’s nothing like the feeling when phrases come together for a perfect fit. 🖤

Deeply Relaxing When the Bath Water Meets a Peanut Butter Cookie

April 3 2020

Something I find deeply relaxing. Not just a nearly too hot, epsom salt soak. That paired with this ….

The sound of the water as it fills the tub, the sound of the water as I ease into it, the sound of the water when I move around, the gurgling sound as the water drains through the overflow, the plopping sound of the water as it drips from the faucet landing in the tub water, the smell of the water, the silky feel of it against my skin, the feel of the tiny bubbles as they glide across my legs, and finally the sound of the water as it drains from the tub. Ahhhh …. off to dream land now.

April 5 2020

Seriously, y’all! I had just cleaned it, the water was beautiful and clear, I went in to check it, eating said chocolate chip peanut butter cookie, leaned over the tub as I took a bite, and there it went. A mid-size crumb, smack down into my pristine, beautiful tub of water. I mean. Who does such silly crap?

Clouds With the Invigorating Crunch of Gravel and Dirt While Aliens Watch

March 30 2020

This morning.

Cloud update … HA!

March 31 2020

That was invigorating! Went for a walk, in a new to me place. It’s as if each step was an infusion of nature’s energy. Along with the sound of the crunch of the rocks, gravel, and dirt, I feel rejuvenated. Plus, found some huge love along the way.

April 1 2020

Cloud update … Ha! First two photos taken an hour ago. Last two from this morning. The wind was blowing so hard, the camera wouldn’t focus.

April 4 2020

Cloud update …. We had a clear sky yesterday, until late afternoon. They’ve returned.

They’re still at it. This from a couple of hours ago.
