2022 Happy To Be Here

There were things that I thought I would get done this weekend that didn’t happen. Other things did though, nice relaxing things. Here are some happy things from today: There was a walk today with a friend. We had a nice time on our little hike. There were brooks to cross, ponds to see and views from a hill. One of the things we saw were some white water-lilies. Just a few were blooming. They are a very pretty flower in my opinion. Near a beaver lodge there was a gnarly tree that caught my eye. It makes me think of a tall campfire. After the walk I went to the studio and made straps for my Viking dress. Soon it will be done and I will take pictures. ☮ Currently reading: Pocketful of Miracles: Prayer, Meditations, and Affirmations to Nurture Your Spirit Every Day of the Year , Joan Borysenko. Currently listening to: Seven Surrenders , by Ada Palmer Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.

 My original plan for today was to get up super early and go to the studio.  Getting up super early never happened, I did go to the studio though.  Last week I came home from work with a worn out knee in a pair of jeans.  I sewed a patch onto them at the studio.  I plan to do the other knee too, but I ran out of time today.  Other happy things: Every month or so I travel about 45 minutes south to get my mail at the post office.  I decided to walk through the conservation area nearby while there.  These are trails that I used to hike often when I lived in the area.  Twice I took wrong turns.  One, I believe, was a new trail that wasn't there before; the other I have no good reason to have made the wrong turn.  Things change.  Anyhow, it was a lovely walk in the woods.  Peaceful. One of the things I like about some sections of the trails here are where there are rocks to go over the tiny waterways instead of bridges.  ...
