Sunbeam strollin!

This weekend was perfect......every moment.....intentionally filled with soul filling stuff... and Sunday added to it......I had a slow morning, and then met a friend for brunch.....the sun was shining, and the breeze was blowing.....I also got to see friends that had finished a bike ride there.......I did not know, or hadn't heard before......but unfortunately a young man was killed on 206 last year, by two young girls drag racing :( So they had a memorial ride for him.....so we were brunching at Cafe Wren, and ended up hearing some of that and seeing some folks.....it was very touching to see all of the people that turned out for it.....a beautiful community moment......... we brunched, and then strolled to the Farmer's Market.....and I got to see my friend who does her pottery thang....her stuff is so beautiful:)....and I bought a ceramic cover for a vase that you can place flowers in:)......and then I came home, and did my garbage chore lol that wasn't so fun;-) Some grocery shopping, and then caught more live music! A friend's band that I have been meaning to see....so I rode a ways to her gig, and enjoyed it so much.....and by the time I came home.....I felt so filled up, bursting as I waited for my kiddos to get dropped off......and I realized fully that the entire weekend was raindrops on roses.....favorite things on repeat.....I could have added a few more things that I love, but I did pretty well:) And I believe so deeply that the WAY in life is to double down.....double down on the love we give our loved ones, love being the point and all.....;-) BUT also double down and give that love to OURSELVES! It cannot be overstated.....much of my satisfaction in my life now has come on the wings of the love and care I show myself every day......feeling invisible for many years, and neglected by myself and others.....and learning that no matter what happens in life I can always show up for me.....always and loving on my people and myself equally.....and I take REALLY good care of me now:) And it works lol:) I tend intentionally to my mind, body, and spirit every day....in some way.....and using my energy to do that CONSISTENTLY, there is that word again:) My favorite.....has paid off......I continue to feel better and younger as time passes....which is kind of amazing and such a gift to my life.....I am grateful every day that I get to live THIS life:) so we are gifted to have sunbeam strollin days:) I believe that.......days where the heavens roll out the red carpet and say enjoy! And in this case the whole weekend was like that.....but really once you can get yourself in a certain space, most days are like that:) I very rarely have a "bad" day now.....because I spend a lot of energy looking for the good, the light, the fun, and the gifts.....so each day is normally bursting with such things.....this week finds me tackling my last part of my not so fun summer to do business, while the kids go to Vacation Bible Camp.....and find the light amid the rest.....and sit in deep gratitude for all the fun I had this weekend, and all the great people I got to connect with, and have fun with:) Happy Monday! Have a great week:)
