I made it to the gym this morning. It had been almost two weeks since I had been there. I took it easy on myself and didn’t push myself hard. Felt good to be back at it again.
Kathy and I did a cemetery tour this morning. At Florence, where our parents are buried, we ran into our Aunt Marylyn, her son David and his daughter Andrea and her son Miles. Nice to see them for a minute. They were going to attend the ceremony at the cemetery but we decided to go on and not stay for that. We drove past the house where our grandparents lived in Marion.
Next on our tour was the cemetery in Hillsboro where our dad’s parents and his brother are buried. We were glad we went there as our flowers were the only ones by their graves. We drove by the house where our grandparents used to live in Hillsboro. It sure seemed smaller! I even remembered the name of the street they lived on. Not sure where that little nugget of information came from in the depth of my brain.
We ended our journey at the cemetery in Cottonwood Falls where our great grandparents and great-great grandparents are buried. We took the Lake Rd across from Elmdale. Such a pretty drive.
It was a beautiful day for a drive. The hills are so pretty and green. Lots of memories shared today!
I need to go into Emporia this afternoon to go buy groceries. Not sure what my plans are for tomorrow yet but am holding the day free in case I decide to go to KC to spend the day with Nicole as it is her birthday. She may want a couch day alone after being gone all weekend. I have to go back to KC Friday to pick up my friends from the airport and then I will return them back to KC next Sunday. If I don’t get to see Nicole tomorrow I have two more chances coming up this week to see her.
Looks like rain is in the forecast for most of the coming week. I need to mow again and am trying to figure out when I want to do that. I would like the yard to look nice for my guests next weekend. May need to mow between showers it looks like.
Decided to take a rest day today and not make myself do much. I am so appreciating my empty space today. There is a nice breeze coming through the house and the skies are a brilliant shade of blue. Hard to find a more perfect day than today is.
Sitting with a quiet and calm head today. I can feel my energy has shifted as a result of the class I just took. I’m liking the calmness of it. When I can stay out of reaction I can always find more options to issues that arise. I feel like I am back to being an observer of my life. Good space to be in.
Beautiful day on the prairie. My heart is wide open today. All is well!
