Dancing in Reflection

Steve will soon be home after four days in our beautiful St. George. He's biked, hiked and enjoyed time with his brother and even got to see my dear parents. I had a couple scheduling conflicts here at home so it was a great time for him to do some adventurous hikes and mountain biking (our tandem is a road bike) without me. I've loved getting his updates and have missed him so much!

I have also enjoyed some time of reflection, quiet time and putting some projects together. Also, thoroughly enjoyed the chance to spend time with my daughter, Natalie.  With the hope of spring, it seemed like a great time to get pedicures. Ah, relaxing. Dinner with her and Adam was delightful. I reflect on the week and indeed time spent with those I love is what matters. It was Kendall's birthday this past week. I loved that he took my invite to hang out together for the afternoon before joining the rest of the family for dinner.

We had a couple days of sunshine and near 50 degrees.  This cute little pug, Dahlia, just wanted to hang outside in the sunshine.  I felt the same way.

I realized that there was a patch of dirt no longer covered in snow!  I was so excited and so after my 2 1/2-hour conference call (yes, that isn't a typo!), I went outside to do some raking in this flower bed.  

Cricket so wanted to join me.  I told her she could cheer me on from the deck. 

So on one side was the dirt and on the other are the kids sledding down the hill!  I loved the irony of it all.  

Today it is raining and Cricket and I are listening to this song:  Dancing in the Rain (click on music).   Does it have you dancing or inspired to start clicking in positive thoughts?  

Someone recently asked me -- what do you do about all the things you can't do.  I don't know I said - I choose to focus on all the things that I can do.  They seem to keep me plenty busy :)!
