Hot Sauce Spices Up Life

**THROWBACK POST**

October 19 2015:

And then there was this tree. We made gratitude lists tonight and discussed them. Thomas listed “hot sauce”. I said, “Tell us about the hot sauce Thomas.” He says, “It spices up life.” I think Thomas and Lillian both need a shirt with “Hot Sauce” on it. They sure spice up my life. Here’s to Hot Sauce!

Oh!! And his duck friends came back to hang with him. They even got out of the water to come closer. So funny as we don’t feed them.

The Art Show Trees Produce and Spreading Loving Kindness and Deeply True to His Heart

October 9 2017:

Wonderful solo afternoon walk. These trees. Just love the art show they produce.

I had such a feel good time in the grocery store this morning spreading loving kindness.

Ran into a friend and shared hugs and yummy conversation, got some items off the top shelf for another shopper, and while in line suggested a book to another customer and the cashier.

Plus, came home with good food. Having good food in the fridge and pantry just feels good. Incredibly grateful for natures beauty, the food nature provides, and days like these.

Morning walk at the Galena Creek Visitor Center. Amazing beauty and peace, along with wonderful tree companions.

So incredibly grateful to Nature for the peace she brings amongst uncertainty and times of not knowing. This is the hugest and biggest surrender, letting go, and not knowing to date. xoxoxo

July 28 2017:

Sunset walk with Thomas last night. Such a heart filled walk with this wonderful young man I get to share this life’s journey with as mother and son.

We fed the ducks along with a few wee ducklings and took our time. Afterwards we sat for a while on the lodge patio talking about movies. Then we came home, got Lillian, and went for a moonlit swim.

It was so much more than that. The walk, feeding ducks, sitting, and chatting, and swimming …. We were connecting and sharing love. I know we are both grateful for that and for Mother Nature. xoxo
