Into every life a little rain must fall………

As you read this dear blogging friends, I will be in an airplane on my way home to Portland,Oregon. My dad's cancer treatments have left him very sick and so weak, but most of all a little sad. I'm going to cheer him up!!!!! Best of all….I'm just going to love the greatest guy in the world…or one of them anyway.

We are all a little sad over here. So how do we deal with our sadness ? Wellllllll,…… together of course.

 We have come up with many ideas that can help us to live in the moment and gently move us forward. Thank you for letting me share this. It's helps so much.

• It's ok to be sad. Cry. Let it out. Might I suggest Luciano aka lucy piano, and Andrea. There is nothing better than crying to italian opera. Put it on a loop, and play it loud to get the full effect.

• After you dry your tears,Be Thankful. Even sad times hold a lesson. We are thankful that we can learn in this moment. "If the only prayer you said in your life was "thank you" it would suffice." Eckhart.

• With your talents bring comfort, hope, and help to an other.

• Show the places you've been by wearing great beads. Tinker around with things found in the recycling bins. Commune with nature. Ultimately create something everyday that reflects who you are and how you are feeling in that moment.

• love the animal of your choice

• …..and above all else be kind. Zoe Weil said this and she's right. Kindness is such a great gift to give and to receive.

I will be back on the blog next Wednesday. I go with zero expectations and much hope that dad and I can share some close moments. Have a great rest of the week and weekend.~
