The kids tried out the new pool at Spray Lakes this afternoon. We have been waiting for this to open for a long time
I think it’s going to become a well used place for us. And I’m hoping to spend a lot of time in the pool this winter as I rehab.
Another one of those things that makes me glad we are home. Happiness
My soul sister picked me up and took me out for lunch today. Pretty exciting as it was the first non broken thing I’ve done off property in 10 days.
We always have such great conversations and balance each other so well. I am so grateful for her friendship. Our paths have been so similar and I’m happy I’ve had her to help navigate this journey. It’s deep heart happiness
This evening I went and saw my boy. Even if I can’t ride he still holds my heart.
Sometimes the way we can be in a relationship changes. The true test of the strength of that relationship is how is lasts during these times.
I made it outside today to see my pony it’s the first time I’ve been out to see him since I fell off. I think he’s been lonely too. The very least he appreciated the treats I brought for him. I love this guy and being with him brings me so much happiness. I waited a lifetime for him to come – and even if I can’t ride and I’m going to enjoy him
He’s looking for treats
Jacob has been watching TV with me and we watched an episode that made us laugh out loud. He had to get up and record his favourite part.
One of my bestest, oldest girlfriends sent me a message today letting me know that she had an extra Garth Brooks ticket for me.
We saw him together in Calgary almost 30 years ago and I’m so excited that she’s going to be my date for the show again. I think it was the best concert I’ve ever seen and I’m so grateful that we get to go do it again.
That is happiness!!!
Today people continued to help me out by giving food asking if there was anything they could do and in the case of my kids cleaning the house.
The kids weren’t overly pleased about that part but they did a good job once they got going. I think it’s been good for all of us to have these roles switch up a little bit they appreciate what I do a whole bunch more and I sure appreciate everything they’re doing for me.
I am so grateful for this tribe. Such happiness.
At the end of this drishti spooked and I fell off. I’m waiting in urgent care to get the deal on my arm. But man was it a happy day until then!!!
I got to see my boy at his job today. This work has been such a great thing for him / he’s learning responsibility, but also has gained a whole new social network, and has developed a new confidence which has been awesome to watch evolve.
I’m so proud of both my kids. They are such kind, caring, awesome human beings. They are the brightest stars in my sky – and seeing them happy makes me happy.
Tonight we celebrated the 40th wedding anniversary of two of my favourite people / my aunt and uncle who have always been like extra parents to me.
How lucky am I to be part of this tribe, in this time, in this place? I’m so grateful for the love and the laughter, the faith and the fun. It’s pretty spectacular. It’s happiness
Today I got some things done around our house – still clearing clutter here. Then I went to the house of my cousin-in-law for lunch. We share the same insane sense of humour so it’s always a guaranteed laugh fest. We also always break it down into really serious “what’s going on with life” stuff – then back to crazy laughing. This is a valued friendship.
The day ended by seeing The House with my boy. It was hilarious and we laughed ourselves silly. There were only 3 other people in the theatre which made it almost ideal.
Happiness in many forms today. Life is good and I am grateful.
It’s been super smoky here with all the fires from BC blowing our way. It cleared a bit tonight and I took Drishti and Dottie out for a walk.
The sun was a brilliant red through the haze – beauty in the smoke.
We managed to get really close to the heron tonight. As I was trying to take a photo while I was only a few feet away I kept thinking Dad would really like this
Dad and I used to email back and forth photos of our local herons when I lived in Virginia. It was a way of making me feel close to home, so this heron holds a special place in my heart.
My bond with my horse is getting stronger all the time. We are trusting each other and relaxing into comfort together finally. He is a true miracle in my life and I’m grateful every minute for him.
We stood by the heron and had a few minutes of quiet while I thought of dad. It’s sadness but it’s happiness too.
