Another spring sunset, getting later each day, left me feeling joyful this evening. Nature splashes her colors wherever she feels like it, with wild abandon. I want to go out and look for adventures—and eat ice cream before dinner like a child on holiday—just because it’s my life and I can dance if I want to.

This week has felt a bit rushed, mainly because of getting ready for a weekend trip and making sure to get everything done promptly before departing. But it’s all OK, and I am grateful for being so free to travel.

I learned the Reiki affirmation “Just for Today” about ten years ago, and I find it calming. There are many versions, originally translated from Japanese. I came across this word-art version recently and decided to share it for a Nurturing Thursday post. Enjoy!

I had a few hectic moments earlier this week and, at one point, found myself looking for the phantom ring on my right hand that I’ve occasionally imagined there. I have no idea why or how that image got into my mind; it began almost a decade ago. Just some odd stress reaction. It seems harmless, though, and I’ve been reminding myself that I can manage stressful moments well enough.

I put on a pink blouse with sparkly sequins when I woke up to a dark, rainy morning. The sun never came out. My house had some Internet issues, and something weird has been going on with my laptop’s connection to a secondary monitor. Also, there was a power outage in the afternoon. But it was all okay; the generator switched on and ran just fine, and there was nothing to disrupt my focus too much.
Overall, I think it’s fair to say that I had a good sparkly Thursday.

My husband and I have both been spending some time during our workdays mentoring coworkers who want to improve their knowledge. It’s good to see them becoming more confident as they learn from gentle suggestions. In addition to getting work done more efficiently, developing more skills helps people to feel better about themselves in general, which can carry over into many areas of life.

When I am traveling, I often bring a yoga mat and do online sessions with my Hydrow app. Yoga is included in the subscription for the rowing machine. I don’t bring the machine itself because our Concept2 erg is easier to transport. Still, I’m grateful that I can stay connected to the online Hydrow community.
Several people regularly post comments on yoga sessions, with emojis of seated yoga poses, lotus flowers, surf (for yoga flow), and hearts. It’s a lot of fun to see middle-aged women playing with emojis like kids. Those comments always make me smile.

Although my husband was very busy with work today, he got the car mostly packed for the road trip south, and I’ve washed (but not yet put into suitcases) all the clothes we’re taking. We still have some work to do Friday morning, but we plan to leave in the early afternoon, if all goes well. Great adventures await!

More snow is on the way tomorrow morning in my area, and the past two weeks have been unusually cold. The winter is getting closer to its end, though, and however much it may snow in the morning, it won’t be long before it all melts. Beaches and other good things are not far away!

My daughter got her New Zealand “Straight to Residence” visa approved this week. If she stays and works there another two years, she can get a permanent resident visa. Good news to start her year.
She’s certainly living an adventure after deciding to jump into the unknown and go get it!
