What Is Happening In Your World . . .

well in my world  . . . this is what is happening . . .

summer has arrived and the flowers are at their prettiest

just look at that big white bloom,
Annabelle must be very, very healthy

we are doing some downsizing in our yard

see this huge tree

this is the before

it will be history on Tuesday,

it is overpowering, too close to the house and very dirty

quite the discussion to cut or not to cut

we hope the woodpeckers will be less interested

 in our cedar siding once the tree is gone

it will mean revamping this corner of the house/yard

 I promise to show you the after

I worked outdoors cleaning the fire pit on Friday

and then I showered up and we went out for dinner

 isn't this lovely

my daughter received this succulent planter for Mother's Day from her MIL 



we've made a few trips to Lake Michigan to watch the sun set



 I had never read Janet Evanovich

but the Stephanie Plum series has me hooked

someone mentioned her in a blog comment

so I ordered the first two from amazon and one ebook

then I went to a used book store and bought four more

and THEN I ordered three more from the library
 

I am reminded of myself when I was young and couldn't stop reading Nancy Drew

although the only way these books are like ND is maybe the mystery part
 

these are not for the light hearted, they are raw and graphic

but what has me hooked is delightful Grandma Mazur

she is a hoot . . .hilarious
and the more I read the more I laugh right out loud
 

a fun easy read, just what I needed

I am stopping at ten though which means I only have three more to go
I have other things to do, plus Daniel Silva's latest book is waiting in the wings 



I made chicken salad for dinner tonight

my recipe has evolved over the years

it has chicken of course

and red onion, celery, red and green grapes, granny smith apples

the secret though, I think, is in the dressing

do I have you interested?

 It is not about feeling perfectly well all the time

it's about being perfectly you

it's about being at home in your own skin

owning your own thoughts and choices

belonging in your body and feeling grounded in your spirit

wellness is yours to claim now

you are well

forgive yourself

 

choose wellness

fill your body with
love and appreciation
