Moved and rebuilt my little brick fire pit in a better spot, something I've been putting off for months because I've been too busy.

Took a nice cool bath and got my pup all wound up playing chase in the yard..gah he's hilarious and I love the little speed demon!

I sometimes forget how great it feels to just laugh and not be mocked.

Kicking through day 8 of a 9-day stretch of super long days at work. Reminding myself this is okay, can be done & all is well. Open heart meditations to let go what isn't mine.

Allowed myself a minor meltdown this afternoon when I had a short break. Must have been more needed than the yoga I wanted.

Hydrating. Staying nourished.

God brought me genuine laughter. So healing!

Built a fire this morning. It was a wonderful meditative action. Wood chips. Kindling. Logs. Fire starter. A long heavy match. Adjusted the wood a bit to get better airflow, then added another log.

Simple things. Elemental things. Healing moments.

Went swimming yesterday.

Bulletproof coffee today.

Sent out inquiries about several different things and heard back from one of them with good news.

Prayer and meditation.
Taking short walks. The open areas, woods, hills and views here are beautiful.

Took 2 long walks among big trees with changing leaves this weekend. It was windy and fantastic. Felt the cool air blow right through my tired brain and just felt so refreshed!

Peace,
B

Making use of "shopping therapy" again today.

I like bright, inviting spaces with friendly people and great music. Pausing. Praying. Enjoying this practice of noticing good feelings.
