Today I'm thankful that it's Friday because I can spent time in nature. I love to go for walks and to enjoy the few leaves that are left at the trees. I can spent time with my two cats, read, take a nap. To me the little things are wonderful. Enjoy your weekend <3
Thank you for your beautiful post Karen. My dad passed away two days ago and one of the many songs he used to sing to me was the “Bare Necessities.” Your post brought me back to a young age sitting on my dad‘s lap listening to that song as he read the Jungle Book to me. There is so little we need in life to be happy. The other things are just stuff. Thank you for your gifts; beautiful words and photographs. I am grateful for you as you share the struggles and joys of being human that so many of us can relate to. Happy Thanksgiving.
Carolyn, sending so much love to you as you walk through the loss of your dad. Losses are hard enough in "normal" times but even more with all our emotional systems have been through with the pandemic. I've been wondering why the universe chose that song - I haven't heard it in ages. I'm glad it was a good memory for you today.
Wonderful post Karen, thanks for sharing with us. I find many of the challenges and struggles you face echo many of my own. It is heartwarming to find a fellow human successfully navigating these treacherous waters and showing those of us still learning the ropes a path forward. And yes, I do love your photographs and your unique connection to nature. So inspiring!
I am grateful and most blessed in the seed of friendship that we have planted, watered, and tended through these personal and cultural difficult times. May we both continue to turn our faces to the sun and experience life's radiant joy in all its many forms.
I'm grateful to you for sharing your journey. Your beautiful captures and writing bring me back to the present moment and to gratitude for Nature's gifts waiting patiently for us to notice and appreciate.

Dear Catherine, you have been through so much and you know I am praying for you and Kary both.
Thanks for sharing the things that have helped and guided you …. I read The Artist’s Way several years ago…. Good book👍❤️
Thank you Sharon! Yes! I try to do "morning pages" though they mostly aren't in the morning for me.

Thank you. As Ram Daas said, we are all just walking each other home. I am just a beginner too!

I feel the same way Lauren! Absolutely yes to this. Thank you.

Thank you Martha! It's a daily - sometimes hourly thing - but then maybe that's aways true.
