A bright yellow and white Iris flower blooming among wild blackberry brambles

I need to move my irises… they no longer get enough sunlight plus the wild blackberry brambles are taking over. My chaotic gardening has gone truly wild

Sun setting over a small lake… as above, so below

lil walk in nature to watch the sun set quiets the soul a needed fraction or two

Pink azalea bloom and fern fronds

My second grandson has arrived unto this world today at 11:22 am 💕💕💕

Welcome to your family, little Alexander Gray 🥰 Nonna is excited to meet you ❤️‍🔥

My DIL is going into the hospital tomorrow afternoon to be induced ♥️ y’all please send some strength and good vibes for a safe and healthy delivery 🥰🥰

Thank you!

And I was glad to find out I only have to get 1 pneumonia vaccine and won’t need it again. My nanny had to get them every year. I hated that and always said there should be a one and done

It’s a waffle stitch. 💕 I probably do it wrong, but it always looks good so 🤷‍♀️☺️

D Marie wearing a black concert t shirt from The Offspring show she saw last fall. This is a NSV (non scale victory) for her, as she purposefully purchased the shirt in a size L for her weight motivation It fits today !!

Physical w/ the Dr this AM. -8 lbs since last visit, bp 112/70, labs all great (a1c = 5.1) 😊 have to pick up that shingles and pneumonia shot when I get by the pharmacy

Thank you. He’s doing great 😊 causing trouble like his normal self 😆

Two therapy workbooks, one has a blue cover titled internal family systems skills training manual ( by Richard C. Schwartz PhD ) the other has a gradient yellow to green cover, and it is titled the somatic, internal family system therapy workbook (by Susan McConnell)

Behold!! the newest additions to my never-ending therapy work 🤪

I’ve done a lot of mental rewiring work in six years, but there’s still so much trauma left that’s trapped in my body that I cannot identify.

I wish I knew 🤷‍♀️ this visit was almost as bad as the knee surgery my pittie had several years ago

The beginnings of a solid black waffle stitch crocheted throw blanket laid out against over D Marie’s legs

Working on my crochet and listening to a financial podcast this evening

Btw .. Ghost is home and feeling much better. No surgery was needed, but oooweee my wallet needs resuscitation after the emergency vet visit

Everybody Wants To Rule The World

I had just turned nine years old two weeks before this song was released. This was one of my favorite songs from back then. Every time I hear it, it brings a longing to go back and tell 9 yr old me that we are strong and worth so much more than what our childhood made us believe
