I met my daughter for lunch and we enjoyed our act of running away...and enjoying a big girl lunch just me and her! She could not be comfortable going to a movie and I do understand the pull of returning home to care for Ryan and the girls. We laughed...discussed our daily schedules...upcoming commitments... Maya Rose's star role in her Drama club's annual production on the 16th... Dad's possible new challenges...life in general. "It is a happy talent to know how to play." Ralph Waldo Emerson I want my children as adults to be responsible but still maintain a sense of play... never let the the routines get you down and always look up.
I picked up my pal Rosie at the dog groomer and she has a Dutch girl haircut that she is sporting...$34.00 for her grooming treatments and I go to Walmart for my sensible haircut at the price of $14.99. Who is really Top Dog in this relationship? Her puppy cut is so easy to maintain and is easier for a fast clean up but I do hope the worst of winter's winds have subsided...she certainly does not dawdle when Nature calls. :o)
I am continuing my re-exploration of Wabi Sabi...metaphysical, spiritual, moral principles, come from ideas about Simplicity, naturalism, and acceptance of reality. Maybe that is why I am fascinated in the discovery of hand blended teas and their properties...creating a simple tea ceremony for myself...taking time to share with Ken...and gradually slowing down the noise of chaos in our daily lives. I found time to celebrate the bright sunshine and clear blue skies. The air was crisp but I am on a quiet search to find if my daffodils have sprouted up from the frozen earth on the hillside...real affirmation for the Springs promise of beauty and aesthetics from the soil's womb.
