Day 250

Day 250

I got home from my meeting to find him like this.

He had a rough afternoon, ending in a F5 meltdown over trying to learn to tie his own new shoes, which started inside the shoe store (sorry Damon) and lasted a few blocks of downtown.

He said things he didn't mean and did things he knew would hurt me.

Sometimes we have to pause and realize everyone has struggles. Some battles may be over things we can easily do, and take for granted.

In the end we shared tears, hugs, and apologies.  And, he eventually mastered those darn laces.

Day 245

I am 2/3 done with The Intention Project.  I can not believe it is September 1st already.  All the fallen apples remind me that the seasons are in full change.  Though some may see these as waste, I know they will provide sustenance for the deer and other animals long after the green grass is gone.  There is a strange beauty in this carpet of fallen apples.

Day 244

The Painted Lady Butterfly sat and surveyed me as I inched toward it on my belly through the grass.  The colors of its wings popped against the surrounding wind blown greenery. I am always amazed at the seldom seen underside of these butterflies, the pattern and colors being more beautiful than the topside.  Many of us have beautiful seldom seen sides...

A heart full of wonder,
