Hello Sunshine! Embracing the Joys of Summer

Happy Summer! I am very excited for summer. Even though I really dislike extreme heat and sun I do love summertime.  I've been working on a few Youtube Shorts Making Artwork. It's been fun. Next week I'm going to try and film a cooking weekly video with all Greek food! Oh my! I truly hope I can pull through this challenge. My family is excited. lol ;) 

I will be uploading the Greek Food video at the end of June. It takes a considerable time and planning to put videos together. I hope I do a good job.

Wintering 2025

Winter in the city

Back in Ontario things are different than PEI

I miss nature a lot

I miss the silence, 

the slow pace

 I miss the sounds and sights of PEI nature

but 

I don't mind the change all

I embrace each moment

After going through Breast Cancer I am grateful for everything and I don't complain about things anymore

I feel a lot

I have a lot of emotions but I don't complain

It's a gift from God to live each day 

Count your blessings

 I would like to read: 

"Wintering The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times"

by Katherine May

It's on my Amazon Wish list. I would like to buy that book and read it. 

What book are you reading at the moment? 

This is my  "Some Lines a Day" five year journal.

I finished one year of it in PEI and now I am in the second year. It is wonderful to see what happened the year before when I write a few lines daily. Total appreciation for this Journal.

Auggie 

He is a sweetheart of a cat

Always likes to wake me up if I am sleeping on the couch. 

I think he wants to make sure I am okay.

Thank you all for reading my blog post.

 

I hope you are all well and doing okay this winter. 

I pray that the Lord blesses you and keeps you healthy and safe. God Bless you all!
