Rocket People

We hope your week is out of this world! 

We made a rocket ship cake.

We collected some Cosmos seeds...

and watched E.T.

There is a giant cardboard rocket ship sitting in my living room in the process of being colored. 

If that's not a theme, I don't know what is. 

Wishing all you shining stars a fantastic week!

Love,

Empathy Over Anger

Everyone faces challenges. Most people are dealing with a lot of them right now. It would serve us well to remember that. 

It's so easy to be frustrated or angry with someone who isn't being as kind as we would like. Maybe we could expand our patience a bit. Things are hard for almost everyone.

Maybe we could fly above it. Life is too short. 

Choose empathy. Choose understanding. Choose compassion. Choose Love.

Love,

T

Laying Down the Mulch

Thursday was a fabulous day! I was having an amazing time at my gig - with OUTSTANDING singers/entertainers and incredible musicians.

I sent Russ this picture:

With John J. and Bobby D.

He responded with this picture of his own:

Russ with Sir Elton John

AWESOME!!!!!

Today (Sunday) was a BEAUTIFUL DAY! It was the first really warm and sunshiny day of the year, getting all the way up to 63 degrees. I spent most of the day outside enjoying it.

I really got a jump on the weed situation this time. Last year, I remember getting a very rude awakening to an out-of-control weed situation in September. This year, I was all over it early! I clipped, weeded, and laid down five bags of mulch. I decided I was NOT going to let it get out of control like last year.

Wish I could say Bentley was helpful...

It felt as if I was working off some steam too. I had been thinking heavily about some comments a "friend" had made the day before that were not sitting well with me - at all.

When I got back in the house and checked Facebook, I found this quote:

"People inspire you or they drain you. Pick them wisely."

- Hans F. Hansen

This week, I will not be afraid to let things go. I will choose to spend my time and energy wisely and will not allow my thoughts to become weeds, choking out new growth.

xoxo!

Namaste,
T
