As the green carpet comes slowly back sprouting "baby grass green" color, I notice the rustle of wind through bare branches.
I had a Time Out short visit with a friend, much needed. In our breathing space, our short vacation, we chatted, smiled, and ate home baked cookies and chocolate. Dolores handed me a card filled with sun and flowers:
"It's not so much where you're going~
but who walks with you on the journey...."
Then we sampled the wrapped chocolates, each with a message. My favorite was the dark chocolate with almonds.
As we unwrapped the goodies, and read the notes, we were amazed and delighted at the results.
"Stretch your Body~
Stretch your Mind."
"Take a Deep Breath."
"Follow Your Instincts."
Big YES~
And~(drum roll)
"The more you praise and celebrate your life,
The more there is in life to celebrate."
