mantra monday and photo-a-week

thank you all for your well wishes over the past few days. they must be working because i'm slowly improving and it no longer hurts to breathe which is a good sign. with being sick this past week, i didn't really do too much except to rest where i could and just go with the flow which happened to be the inspiration behind this week's affirmation card.

MANTRA MONDAY

it's often better for us to quit expending all our energy on fighting the current when we can just 'go with the flow'.

PHOTO A WEEK MONDAY


a few days ago, we had a sun shower! it's always felt strange to me to have the sun shining brightly while the rain falls....somewhat surreal. this particular sun shower left a double rainbow in its wake.



when i let cody out to do his business the other morning, i noticed this huge spider web that was created overnight.



a closer view at the intricate workmanship




i tried to get a close up of the centre but there was a lot of glare with the morning sun being so bright and strong

i hope you all had a fantastic weekend and i can't wait to see everyone else's photos for this week.

love, light and peace

it hurts to breathe

i'm dealing with the flu right now and it hurts to take deep breaths because a sharp, prickly pain shoots across my upper back. needless to say, i haven't felt up to posting so this one will be quick.

NEWSFLASH - the name of this tree is no longer a mystery - YAY!


chinese rain tree aka. golden rain tree

anyone for devonshire tea?

MONDAY PHOTO A WEEK

when we dropped aaron over to michelle's place on thursday, she had made us a lovely devonshire tea for morning tea.

today, i did the same for afternoon tea.

traditionally, devonshire tea (aka. cream tea) is made up of tea and scones (known as biscuits in the states) served with jam and cream.

it was DELICIOUS!!!

MANTRA MONDAY

this past week, i have found myself in a joyful, happy mood for no particular reason and i have felt truly blessed. hence my affirmation for this week - I AM JOYFUL. a reminder to seek love and joy in each moment. some of you may be feeling a deja vu moment as you may remember this sun from when i participated in the soul coaching book club last november. i used that one as my inspiration for this card.

love, light and peace
