The Company You Walk With

 

"WALK WITH THE 

DREAMERS, THE BELIEVERS,

THE COURAGEOUS, THE CHEERFUL, THE PLANNERS

THE DOERS, THE SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE WITH THEIR 

HEADS IN THE CLOUDS, AND THEIR FEET ON THE GROUND."  

Give Yourself Credit

 "I hope you are learning to give yourself the credit you deserve.  I hope you are beginning to recognize just how strong you are for pulling yourself through each and every difficult time in your life.  I hope you allow this realization to walk with you, alongside any obstacles or roadblocks you might encounter along your journey. I hope you know just how capable you are and that no matter how challenging a situation may seem, you have the courage to keep moving, to keep growing, and to keep healing.  I hope you can look in the mirror and say, I'm proud of you and really mean it.  And above all, I hope you realize just how incredible you are, and just how much you deserve. "

 

 

Memorial Day

 The mid morning respite at the bay was serene and renewing.

  We drove home via seal beach and there were many people at the celebration held on the grassy area by the pier. Many flags being flown.

 

 

 While Mike made the bbq ribs which he had prepped the day before I made the Australian Anzac cookies which they make for their Memorial Day.

 

 

 We are finishing the day now with the last disc of Ted Lasso. We’ve enjoyed this show so much. Lastly I’m thinking of all the men and women who paid with their lives for our freedom. My heart is remembering them.

On This Lovely Sunday

 

"May you set down 

the weight of the world

you've been carrying

on your shoulders.

May you stop

borrowing anxiety

from the future.

And allow yourself to find

pockets of joy

right here in the present.

May your Sunday be slow,

your heart be happy and

your soul be at peace. 

Catch up May 23rd Lunch With Mike Ramem Anyone?

Mike took the day off and we had a day of errands. We’re preparing for our daughter Aria's visit with the grandkids in two weeks. We’ll be hosting Sofia’s 11th birthday. They make a stop over here before their annual summer in Italy teaching program in Florence. We are so excited to see them. After a Costco haul we had lunch at a local ramen place that we like. It features happy hour all day m-f. $3.00 glass of Sapporo beer and a hot bowl of ramen hit the spot! Happy Thursday all! 

 

School's Out For Summer

 

I’m sure you all can remember that sweet feeling when it was the last day of school. Today is that day for Sofia and Rocco! Summer vacation starts tomorrow! Happy last day of school for all my teacher friends too!
