Remembering current adventures and memories during...

Hi, all, I wanted to add to my post on enjoying the beauty of the day. Once I put up my tree, as I said, I added older ornaments, which was soothing and easy. As time went by, I started to think that I should add some new ornaments that reflect activities from this year. I also decided to share some of the new ornaments with my new friends who shared the journey with me. That was really significant for me since it hit home that I in fact actually had some memorable social activities on my own this year. So now, I look at the tree, and also see some new ornaments that come from craft shows, local artists, and book readings from my local book club. Kind of eclectic, but actually melds right in with the other ornaments. This is probably similar to life - we experience a composite of prior and newer experiences. In addition, I also managed, without realizing it at the time, to energize others and we ended up with an ornament swap. Great fun and friendship. I guess this is an unexpected gift from above. Keep thinking positive thoughts. They can be contagious. Sue 🎅

Thank you Sue. These days with the over emphasis on convenience and speed, eclectic is often under appreciated. Life is and should be full of variety even if it is sometimes inconvenient to the point of hardship...that's what makes it an adventure even without manufactured conflict and drama.
