Forgiveness. It's a fascinating process of hard, worthwhile work.

Yoga. I have found that this is the most likely of my spiritual practices to center me.

Watching as my girl and her best friend made wishes for themselves and each other on two separate hearts, then put one of them in to their own bunny and the other in to the other's bunny that they stuffed at Build-A-Bear Workshop. It was a really special moment.

Spending time with a true friend. She knows me inside and out and loves me anyway!

The perfect hilly sunset run.

No shortage of inspiration and gratitude for the events of my day. :)

Libraries. They fill me with wonder and excitement, and also have great programs for children too. My girl received her first library card today! I am so glad she adores reading. :)

Holding my girl... and seeing the joy on her face as she retells her Disney stories. <3

The woods. Today was exceptionally stunning weather-wise and the woods were gorgeous as usual, but my heart was not in to the trail run. I ended up in tears in the middle of the trail, alone, completely broken down. All I could do was sit and cry. Some days are just like that I suppose...

Sunbathing on a rock in my zen place. There's nothing like listening to the water flow there while the sun warms my face...even if my cell phone took a plunge to its eventful death in to the waters (at least my car key decided to keep its hold in my pocket!).

And a bonus -- feeling safe.

Random acts of kindness... and even those that aren't so random. Bumped in to a park ranger today who let me borrow his personal cell phone last summer because I had forgotten mine and wanted to tell my girl goodnight. He remembered me because aside from the individual who was borrowing his phone when I met up with him, I'm the only other person he has let borrow his phone while on duty. What a kind soul.
