Participating in the delight of a little girl who is really starting to love the pool (finally!).

Relationship evolution. It's lessons are so powerful, if you notice them and allow them to be.

Owning good reading material. I borrowed The Grief Recovery Handbook from a friend, and worked through the exercises in the book a while back. I highly recommend it to everyone as we have all experienced loss in some form or another through our lives. I now own the book! :-) The capstone includes writing a completion letter to the person whom you are trying to let go (be it someone who died, you divorced, etc.). The letter includes your apologies, your forgiveness statements, and your strong emotional statements (I want you to know...) to the person in question. It's not something you are supposed to share with the person or anyone for that matter. I've worked through this in one situation and felt 100 pounds lighter afterwards. I still have a few more letters to write, but I haven't yet taken the time to do so. It's worth the time it takes to read and work through. There are way too many people in this world who do not acknowledge grief as something that needs to be worked through rather than avoided. Avoidance will only work for so long. [Stepping down from the soap box]

This week is one of peace. I feel it. Quiet. Harmony. Tranquility. Serenity. All are here and readily available for us all.

Namaste.
