I treated myself to some retail therapy today. Sometimes it’s not about the “stuff” that you get but the time spent with yourself on a long Saturday afternoon. Alone time for me has been rare lately.
I found this little treasure in a bookshop. Leather, green, tall and skinny. It’s an investment in grateful awareness.
This is one of my favourite fortune cookie messages to date. I discovered it weeks ago when we ordered Chinese food for lunch at work. It’s the kind of fortune that can be applied over and over, every single day. Sometimes, we have to be sensitive to the little hints that the universe is communicating to us. They come in unexpected ways.
This past weekend, we celebrated Mom’s 1st Birthday of her second life here on earth. It’s been an amazing journey since we first found out about her heart tumor in October last year. Science and health are only two elements to creating a life well lived. We learned so much about the awesome power of faith, about the healing balm of love and realized just how precious our time together really is.
Mom has come a long long with her recovery and I know that her amazing healing has been a direct result of her unwavering faith in God’s love and her contagious positive outlook on life. My worries for her health and future have dissipated and turned into gratitude and celebration. Mama is not going to have a problem living a long, happy, joy-filled life. Her new life is a daily reminder for all of us to live everyday like it’s our last.
Happy Birthday Mama!
