Touching Peace – practicing the art of mindful living
Transforming our Compost – one of the chapter titles in the book. Sums it up! Specific, practical instructions ar given for extending our meditation practice into our daily lives.
I’ve not read a Thich Nhat Hanh book I didn’t love. Good stuff.

I just can’t help it. Magical icicle fairyland.
It’s like they won’t leave me alone …. until I go photograph them! I’m sure I look quite mad squeezing between huge columns and air conditioner units and squatting to get them from underneath! Bwahahaha ……

Played in the snow for a few minutes this afternoon. What a delight!
It was a cold, cold walk earlier this afternoon. My face froze!

The tree shadows called for my attention. Eye-catching!

A walk this morning … Beautiful how there’s snow blanketing the frozen sections.

Thomas and Camilla February 2019 Date Day
Car picnic at South Valleys Sports Complex Park. Club sandwich for Thomas and 1/2 Veghead for me. Next up was the library. The place that houses one of our most favorite things!
After that was shopping for a new pair of ear buds for Thomas along with window shopping of computer monitors and keyboards. Thomas has plans and knows what he wants now that he’s had his current laptop for over a year.
Dessert! A caramel gelato bar for Thomas and Mexican wedding cookie for me.
An incredibly cold and slippery walk to end our date.Thomas lectured the ducks on the excessive use of pronouns. Those sweet babies thought we had food and all we offered were words! Beautiful and meaningful conversation all throughout the date. Perfect. In every way.

Lillian and I have way too much fun with the rainbows from the crystals hanging in the window. Just can’t help myself. So pretty.

Check out the beautiful “flower” Thomas got for me (from our backyard). Love it when a handsome, sweet man gets me flower(s)! HA!
Header flower painting: Martin Johnson Heade (American, 1819-1904)
Incredible You!
A wonderful book to inspire young and old alike to feel in their hearts that nothing is impossible for them. Love, Love, Love!

Team TLC Movie Night – My choice: “A United Kingdom” – The 1940’s true story that changed the history of Botswana.
I say, “What an inspiring true story embodying love, strength, and courage. Moving and powerful.”
Quote from the movie, adjusted a wee bit … “No person is free who is not master of themselves.”
Lillian says, “Good and emotional.”
Thomas sat this one out.

Lillian and Camilla February 2019 Date Day
First stop was a haircut for Lillian. Thank you to our sweet friend Kathy Duncan for taking such sweet care with Lillian.
Next stop: French fries and rainbow stack cookie for Lillian. Apricot thumb print cookie for me.
Last stop: Shopping for a special container to hold Lillian’s colored pencils. She loves the silk flowers too!
