bits and pieces

1 I've been putting in a lot of hours at work and it's definitely paying off. Feeling confident and capable and sometimes even, dare I say it, relaxed!
2 The house is clean and shiny and smells like layers of lemon. It's the fragrance of the soap and the furniture polish that's drifting in the air.
3 Outside it's a combination of rain, wind, clouds and blue sky. Mother Nature is a wee bit confused today.
4 The colours of nature are bright and cheery compared with the dryness of summer in our desert paradise.
5 We did a hard prune on a tree in the back and it opened up our view dramatically.
6 I try my best to sit back and watch things unfold but eventually I speak my mind.
7 I must be doing something right, my clothes are just a teeny bit looser. Or maybe it's just stress.
8 The new training is easier than I expected. Possibly that's because I've had this training earlier in the year. Different facility but same workload.
9 I start the day in the dark. Pitch black but by the time I get to leave it's sunny, warm and welcoming.
10 I miss my girls! There is something special about the girls from swb and I'm appreciating them more and more every day. Oh, how I wish I had more work there.
11 Mr P is home on Sunday and we talk about our plans for the next two weeks. A few things are planned but mostly we'll just hang out, hike and putter. I like that plan.
12 I catch myself being very negative today. A friend's husband points it out to me, in a kind and gentle way. I need to regroup.

Saturday, family, and connected

1 Saturdays really can go either way, can't they? Either it's super productive or it's a lazy bones type of day. Today I'm in clean and purge mode. Not really that much left to purge but still sometimes there are just those 'things' that have no use and need to get gone!
2 A young mom cradles her young babe while the dad pushes the stroller. The world around them is moving but they are fully absorbed in each other and their new wee one as they look at the precious bundle mom is holding and then quickly glance at each other.
3 An older couple enjoy a picnic at the beach. They both sit on the same side of the table facing the water and their elbows touch every now and then connecting them.
