Thinking of all the family I will miss seeing in two weeks and knowing the bitter sweetness of the of the reunion. But It makes me glad that so many people will be arriving to celebrate with each other!

Playing games with my girlfriends. It took forever to play the game because we laughed and laughed so much. We played outside in the warm autumn sun and Marty said he could hear us a block away. So much fun those big belly laughs.

Lots of chores completed….always feels so good! Thinking of you Lisa and your upbeat joyful intentions.

Getting my 2025 tax docs to my acctnt. and completed before the Oct 15 deadline made my day brighter. And completing a few little chores I had in my list brought me joy. It is nice to be reminded to think joyful thoughts each day!

Walking in the woods around grass valley ca and remembering the scent of the oak leaves. Also appreciating all the multitude of flowers in bloom around the town. Back to service and walking. 😋

Marty and I did lots of walking the past few days getting ready to go to CA for brother Will’s 70th celebration! Marty still makes me laugh after 50+ years. We laughed a lot, and for a change we laughed over his comical goof ups while we packed. Kind of like Lucy in I love Lucy!😅

Wellll, except for walking all over the stores shopping I didn’t take a real “walk” but walked a lot. More than a mile for sure. I have been thinking of you Lisa, off and on all day. Partly because many family members are making plans to convene in Boise in October for Riley’s big day. They get to see you and all of your beautiful family! Partly because I often think of you when I am doing a lot of walking during the day and send healing light and joyful thoughts your way.(I’m sad to miss the festivities in Boise, and seeing you, but happy to be going to Guatemala to help build a school in a small community.) This 100 days of Joy is such a positive thing. I love your updates and upbeat attitude. I was feeling lax yesterday & I took a rest day & that brought me joy. It is so refreshing to rest deeply. Love and hugs.💞

Rain, rain and more rain…it has been a while since we had a good soaking. I’m so happy about it and mother earth is too!

Today much of the smoke cleared, & the temps were cooler for being outside. Being able to see blue sky and clouds instead of smoke made me smile! Then when I returned to the house I checked what the gardeners had accomplished while I was away. Wow! What a pleasant surprise to see they were able to complete all I had requested & THAT made me smile!

Sending love to you Lisa and to your family as well. I imagine these are difficult times for all of you. Yet, you continue to find your joy. Today I took a walk downtown and coming back reminded me how fortunate I am to be so close to some of the things I love about my little town, that I don’t have to drive to get there. Which then made me wonder what today’s prompt might be for this day of joy, leading me to realize just how uplifting the prompts and walking are…:and on to other joyful thoughts….🤔😋🙏😘

One tiny victory is opening up this link and logging into it. I think of you every day Lisa, what you must have to scale down to for your victories. What a difficult and incredibly personal journey this must be. I’m so happy you have chosen all of us to walk along with you on your journey.💞 sending you love and healing light.🙏🌟

Looking forward to the help I’ll be getting to tackle some projects I’ve been wanting to complete.
