thoughtful friday: be silly

 "Be silly. Be honest. Be kind."     -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I was born old. I never got my clothes dirty. I would not crawl on my knees. I have a hard time being silly. I am trying to let my inner child play. It is hard to turn off the serious list maker that I am. I think it is really funny that I have to try to be goofy! 

Switch off Sunday

 

(yesterday mo was having fun with the camera, she said i had to pose for her, this is one of many she snapped)

My gorgeous plans for today: 

-visit the farmers market for our weekly CSA share

- read a book or two

- sew a bag

- jump on the trampoline

- relax and enjoy the sunshine

thoughtful friday: forgiveness

"Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future."    Lewis B Smedes

It's funny sometimes it is so hard to figure out what is really my dream and what is just the ego and the shoulds and fear that are so loud.

hearts of stone

Hearts were collected in the Teton National Park by Morgan and me. I have never seen so many beautiful stones in a rainbow of colors. We collected and displayed our favorites, leaving the beauty for all to enjoy.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday weekend.
