I missed the Queen visiting my town!
No traffic jams, idiots taking photo's of everything but Her Majesty and general moronic tourist malarky!
Today was good purely because of this!

DoReMiFemme · 06-23-2011, 06:59 PM

Okay, this is from yesterday but I didn't have a chance to share. On my drive home from a long meeting I saw not one but TWO shooting stars.

I wished for a unicorn and a pony, in case you were wondering.

Okay, not really, but a unicorn and pony would be fun.

Kenna · 06-23-2011, 07:07 PM

Thinking of all the fun times I've had with Gramma D.
Knowing she raised a good person, with good, solid moral and ethical beliefs.
She pulled me out of a quagmire of a childhood filled with abuse and neglect, and an early adulthood strife with near-fatal domestic violence to teach me amazingly strong life skills, coping skills and integrity. She taught me to survive, to be proactive in my life's choices and to be proud of who I am and of my accomplishments. She taught me to be independent, both in my personal life and my thought process. She was and is my mentor and guiding light.

Thoughts of all the many things she taught me, makes me smile.
Thoughts of all the fun times and laughter, makes me smile.
Thoughts of what she means to me, makes my heart smile.
Thoughts of the strength, moral and ethics she shared with me, makes my heart swell with pride.

My thoughts have been consumed with Gramma D, of late, because of her current insurmountable hardships and pain.

I smile because I know her legacy lives on in me.
I smile because I know the person she raised is a confident, secure, loving, honest, respectful, respectable, mature, evolved human being.

I've come a long way since I first started to follow in her shadow. I know she would not want me to succumb to anguish over her situation or suffering. She would want me to celebrate what we have shared together, what we have learned from each other and what we mean to each other.
She would want me to end my evenings with a smile and happiness.

That, I can promise her, I do every evening...right after I send a "wish on a star" to protect and watch over her.

I am secure and confident in who I am and the good things I hold within me. I am proud of the Woman she sculpted me to become.
This evening's smiles, contentment and happiness are in dedication to Gramma D.
This is how she would want me to live my life and end my evenings.

A co-worker bringing me some more wild huckleberry honey from his vacation in Colorado. I ran out a few months ago, can't believe he found it.

Kenna · 06-23-2011, 07:52 PM

Receiving lots of support and suggestions from friends on my self-employment and grant funding questions. They all came through for me, especially one friend who called me while she was at work to tell me about exciting news and possibilities that I didn't know was available. It was exciting to hear there is hope for becoming an Art Therapist for Medicaid/Medicare Patients or opening an Art Therapy Office in the near future!! An amazing network of supportive friends made me smile!!

And Christie's post about her fancy new kitchen appliances made me smile!
