5 Things I LOVE

In the spirit of Valentine's Day (or Friendship and Caring day as we prefer to call it) - regardless of my bah humm bug of it all (every year) - I've compiled a little list of things I love off the top of my head - Here's hoping all your hunny's and lovey's are good to you today & everyday

Enjoy!

1. i love sunshine, especially in the morning when I draw up my curtains ~ and in the afternoon when the sunlight comes dripping in my windows facing west. Ahhhhhhhh, I love how the light and warmth makes my skin feel covered in my favourite micro fleece blankie and my insides feel energized from the vitamin burst!
   
2. i love the earth (yes I do love recycling but that's not what I mean) I mean the stuff we walk on and work in all year round. i love raking and planting, digging and sowing in my gardens every spring & summer. Sometimes I just can't resist getting in there with my bare hands, turning the soil, choosing the best place for my seedlings, flowers, herb & veggies. (I'm definitely not a girl who is afraid to get dirty ....... HEY! get your minds out of the flower pots!) This is one of the most connected places I can be (besides growing, forming, bearing, nourishing & raising my children) i feel so fulfilled reaping the rewards of nurturing these plants and watching them grow, what an amazing feeling!


3. i love a long hot shower, with LOTS of water pressure! It's amazing the little things that can be taken for granted like these. On a day where I just can't seem to get on track, need a pick-me-up or need to quiet my mind ~ I often have to remind myself of the power of a good long hot shower. It does wonders for my mind and my body, adjusting my perspective to whatever has taken hold of me and allows me to step out free clear and an added bonus.... I smell good too :D ahahha!


4. i love and appreciate my health! I am pleased to announce my family health history remains fairly strong and I actually look forward to getting older each year. If I've got the genes of my elders I'm looking at taught fresh skin, energy to burn, memories of steel, an young-at-heart attitudes! Wahhh HOOOO. I have personally never suffered any Long-Term physical health issues and I so humbly appreciate that I can have the use of my body & mind to walk n' talk, run n' shake, view n' hear the world, touch n' taste with wild abandon (HEY! there you go again...) and I am refusing to take my body or mind for granted anymore.


5. i love my appetite for life and that i carry not one regret (okay maybe one, but I'm not telling!). I can say without a doubt that i have lived my life fully ~ to the point at which i am comfortable with ~ and turned several stones to reveal truth, grief, joy, anger, celebration, coming-of-age, adventure, naughty n' nice, higher purpose for myself & others, beauty, reality and wisdom. All of which have combined and Incorporated themselves into and out of my being. I love to be able to uncover a family mystery, or shed some light to provide clarity on a situation that long stumped me or others. I devour information about human beings and the what, why, how of everything that comes my way. I am an advocate for justice, I love to see riddles solved, earthly miracles, human kindness (especially the random kind) and children being treated like people - not toys or handbags! I think I've climbed every step of the path of my life's journey with rugged determination and sheer will (even when I wanted to shut down, and absolutely I did on occasion - I'm mean I'm human after all , but after my pity party I'd get right back up and brush of the dirt and keep climbing) always looking for the new path, the more rugged trail and hopped on with childlike enthusiasm anticipating the twists and turns that would come my way next. Yes I love my life, regardless of the current turmoil, it all makes sense to me and I wouldn't have it any other way.

HAPPY Friendship & Caring DAY everyone. Feel free to let me know your Top 5 Thing YOU Love - Can't wait to see them! Ahhhh Gheessh that damn cupid got to me again! Hugs & Highfives everyone :)
