Day 2,799

Growth:

We are what they grow beyond. That is the burden of all masters.

Yet again, Dominic showed his uncanny wisdom today. I was about to force an issue when Dominic shared profound insight that helped me respond correctly. Humbling to learn from my own son, and at the same time so happy to learn from my own son.

Appreciation:

In preparation for Dominic’s graduation party I’ve started pulling old photos for a picture board. I’m already a few hours in and I still have many thousands of photos to go.

What I’m grateful for is taking so many pictures. Each one brings back so many memories! Each is a gift, a moment of positive reflection, a story, a memory, and the start of a conversation. While the memories are still there without the photos they are more easily teased out with a picture. So many wonderful moments of a life shared!

Presence:

Many moments off savoring wildlife today! Countless deer and turkey, a coyote, and a skunk were all on display. What took the cake was standing still near the hummingbird feeders and taking in the sights and sounds of those hungry little dudes! So centering to be only a foot or so away as they dart around.

Thanks!!!
