The snow is all gone and we are back to spring-like weather. The rain and the rise in temperature has depleted all the snow. There is some sun, more clouds, and then rain.
George is training our dog Jake. When they come in from their walks Jake will lay on the rug and wait till he gets his muddy paws wiped off now. Hopefully this will save the floor from receiving dog prints throughout the day. He is learning fast.

Once again, I am reminded we can't get overly anxious to get out in our yard. Rain, low clouds and grey ocean make up the views outside lately. Living on this small island has undoubtedly contributed to a calmness in our lives. I find it incredibly comforting and relaxing just sitting and drinking my cappuccino in the morning while looking out the widows into the forest. I never find this bores me. There is a sense of constancy in nature that is comforting. Too often we rush through our day anxious to complete long lists of tasks and work. The pace of our society is frantic and there is always pressure to do things. This is one of the reasons we have decided to move to an island.
"Sometimes taking it slow takes a lot of courage in our busy world." SC Lourie
Metanoia (n) the journey of changing one's mind, heart, self or way of life.
Remembering that I always have a choice to find joy in my life.
