Turned 56, yesterday. Closer to 60 than to 50 brings with it mixed emotions, mostly good. Our nest is full. Woohoo lives here again, and we are once again, a full-time family of four.
Been listening to Eckhart Tolle and Oprah's new podcast on A NEW EARTH: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. I went through the original series they did together, many times. Life and times have changed, and it's almost like hearing it all again for the first time, but with a twist -that stir of remembering.
It occurs to me, not for the first time, that Wil does not have a Pain Body, nor an ego. He is not triggered. He does nothing because it makes him look/sound/seem good. He holds no grudges, no anxiety about his future (beyond what we're doing on Monday). He lives a life of presence and consciousness. He vibrates at a higher frequency than mere mortals. To have the opportunity to live with such an example, is an (exhausting) honor.
What else? Honey. Honey is the best. We believe Flicka brought Honey into our life, and we couldn't love her more. She is easy. Apart from the shedding, she is perfect. Woohoo recently took her to the Oregon Coast. If you're in need of a pick-me-up, watch this:

I love you so. And I'm excited to hear you're working on a new memoir! I just got a phone call on Monday from a small press that wants to publish mine and I immediately thought of you and that lunch we had right after the agent told me it wouldn't ever be published. Seems like it will, after all. And you encouraged me to keep going. So I did. And here I am.
Sending you so much love and light. Solidarity re: dog hair. Oy. And I can't wait to read what you've written. XOXO Happy birthday, Care!
Your son is blessed to have had you and your husband as his parents. No anxiety is wonderful. You did a good job.
Love your new dog. She's so sweet.
