04-20-22 420 for the win
Up and on the treadmill, getting the steps in was a good start to a very full day. I was at the office at a decent time, got much done from the list and was treated to a lovely chocolate cake by others in the office. No such thing as too late cake!
I had planned to work until I was ahead of things when I was reminded it was 420 and my client in Kimberley was having a celebration and had invited me to attend. I saw on facebook that another friend was supplying the tunes and suddenly just realized it was time to drop the tool belt again. I headed off to Kimberley around 330 and had a lovely visit with the staff and others at the event, picked up a few gummies for the weekend and then decided to head to my cousin Jeanne’s to drop off the soup container she had brought me while I was recovering. It turned out her son Mark was there visiting with his partner Elaine and his daughter Sarah. I haven’t seen him for a real visit in at least 15 years we figured out and it was wonderful. Uncle Lawrence came and we all had a lovely dinner together. Christine showed up with Caillie and Riley (I may have spelt those wrong) and then Brian showed up a while later. It was so good for my soul to visit with them all. Getting to know Sarah was the best. She has been accepted into U of Lethbridge in the fall for their technical theatre program so we connected on that level and I am so excited for her. I finally had to head home and there were so many good hugs that I left with my tank filled. I stopped at cousin Donna’s on the way home to drop off her containers and had a short but lovely visit.
This new lease on life has me really working at balance and connection. We all suffered through the separation of the last two years and it makes these moments even more special.
I did stop and pick up my framed prints and can’t wait to hang them in my office, they turned out so perfect. yes, I am a nerd…
It was funny to hear people worrying about their gardens freezing. Clearly new locals or they would know you don’t plant until the snow is gone off the ski hill!
