2025, kitty, and read

 1 By comparison this year has been significantly more challenging but this year has brought growth.

2 I'm unable to move, I've got cat on my lap. She's purring.

3 Getting all the books ready for book club reading. 

Quote, working & building

 1 Will it matter in 5 years? 

2 Doing the work. 

3 Creating something better. 

definition, buds, and words

 1 Redefining things in order to fit into a box or to find new bits of me? Maybe it's a bit of both.

2 The bleeding hearts are up and full of buds both red and white. Peonies aren't far behind.

3 Our non verbal (his vocabulary is expanding) grandson asks to go to the playground unexpectedly but circumstances say it needs to wait but we'll definitely make it happen. 

Communicating, caring, and returning

 1 She shares stories interspersed with laughter and giggles.

2 There's an element of trust that's between us. 

3 I bought 3 t-shirts and they all shrank after washing. Thankfully I have the tags and receipt. I'm definitely not an xs. 

Sweets, spaces, and special humans

 1 Moon pies and chocolate covered strawberries were the perfect end to our Valentine's Day.

2 Finding space for others means everyone gets their needs met.

3 Loving my people. 

Silence, colour, packets

 1 Sometimes solitude is the best way.

2 Pink skies.

3 Planning what seeds to start indoors. 

Nothing, beautiful from afar, and staying warm

 1 Saying less.

2 Admiring tulips knowing you won't buy them and neither will anyone buy them for you. 

3 A cat on your lap on a very cold -12C night.
