Today we celebrated a milestone birthday of close friend. It was a wonderful opportunity for friends and family together around this person and to celebrate their life. In particular, I really liked how we all came round this person - this person who has made some monumental mistakes in their life; public mistakes from bad choices. now many may choose to turn their back on such a person that today was testimony to the fact that admitting a mistake, taking responsibility for a, and making better choices from that point on can lead to a productive life that touches the lives of others in a positive way.
It was such a pleasure to sit in the sunshine with family and friends surrounded by laughter, eating sumptuous food and celebrating the birthday of this close friend. I observed this gathering and felt the connections between all of us. I felt the last coming from the garden around us, the energy of the plants, the very air we breathe, all twining together in the connection of love between all of us. That is a special day indeed.
After eating so much food, came home and decided that my body into it too rest of the carpet snake so that it could go digest properly. It was so pleasant to lie within my bedroom, with the windows open and to feel the sunlight resting upon my body.
Then it was time for some action. Our vegetable garden needed our attention. my husband and I went out into the garden together, working alongside each other, watering the garden, moving plants into better positions, planting new seeds, harvesting crops. I notice that the wattle trees have come into blossom in our yard. The bees were very active harvesting the pollen from these tiny white flowers. I wonder where their hive is located? It must be close by. Where ever it is located, I am very thankful that they have chosen our yard to be busy within!
The summer solstice is four weeks away and I am feeling very drawn to begin my decoration of entertainment area and home to reflect this new change of season. The building heat of every day and the amount of sunlight and receive every day makes me want to celebrate the Sun and the warmth that it brings to us. I think I may bring out my sun decorations and making new ones to celebrate this new season.
