Empathy

"The action of understanding, being aware of, being
sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the
feelings, thoughts, and experience of another 
either the past or present without having the feelings,
 thoughts, and experience fully
communicated in an objectively explicit manner." 

We Will Rise Up

"Mountains know the secrets we need to learn.
That it might take time, it might be hard,
but if you just hold on long enough, 
you will find the strength to RISE UP."

Our Light

"Sometimes our light goes out,
but is blown again into instant flame
by an encounter with another
human being." -Albert Schweitzer

A Spiritual Journey

"The spiritual journey
is the unlearning of fear
and the acceptance of love." -M. Williamson

A Delicacy

This week I've tried to get my mind off the heat by doing menial chores while listening to audiobooks but today I just needed to lose myself. Longing to be somewhere else. Feeling like everyone needing an escape from reality. I portion out my fantasies by treating myself to a few episodes of life on Corfu with the Durrell's. Yes I'm still at it because I hold myself from binging. I treat this family as a desperate delicacy. Like a last bit of chocolate I've tucked away. I'm not sure how long I can make this treat last but so far I'm good at nibbling through it. Midway now through season 3 with one more season left. How I love this family. It's a needed lovely escape for me today.

Miscellaneous June Fun with Sofia

Gold Shiny Pants

A pre Birthday gift Sofia opened today from her parents : gold Shiny pants. She face timed me so excited and said “oh Gramma I Love them... I’ve wanted these for years!” (That’s hard to believe but she was thrilled.) I then said “I love them too! Maybe I should get some like that for myself!” Her response “That might be a little silly Gramma!”
