Life is good…

For years my most consistent blog topic has been my weekly “Hello Monday” entries. It gave me a chance to change how I looked at the day and week ahead – not with dread but with hope. Over time Monday became my favourite day of the week.

TRUSTING the pups are going to enjoy their time wi

TRUSTING the pups are going to enjoy their time with Claire for the weekend and then Cole for a few days after that for training up in Southampton. I have to remember that this is a strange time for them, too. #SpoiledPups

GRATEFUL to have had so much help moving out of our home. Countless trips to and from Southampton - with and without the U-Haul trailer - have been made to bring up all of the awkward items. Then there was the cleaning out of it all! #LearningLifeSkills
#MenWithBrooms

INSPIRED by the enthusiasm of children. They haven’t yet mastered their feelings so it’s a joy to witness pure delight and enthusiasm when it happens. Case in point: opening a birthday gift on camera. So much fun! #PeterParkerInTraining #PureDelight

FUN starting a new version of an old project, Me: A to Z (the abridged version) for this unique time between here and there. Is it a magical time? Is it a stressful time? It’s all a matter of approach. I’ve chosen to have fun with it. #SuspendedTime #NoEndInSight

TRUSTING that after taking years of courses and classes, as well as writing and journaling daily, I’m able to provide the guidance needed for a friend who wants to start writing her book. Which reminds me, I really need to get back at it and get my novel completed! #NovelInProgress

GRATEFUL for my Mastermind group who not only laugh with me, they are generous and kind and offer tremendous support. It’s also helpful that they are completely woo-ey, my people, who see things (complicated and simple) that elude me as I’m in the thick of it all. #DrinkMoreWater #UseTheCrystals #JournalMore #PullTheCards

INSPIRED to turn off the television and listen to more music. The SONOS speaker has arrived and I’m thrilled to have rich and full resonance and not the tinny sound from my computer speakers - great computer, crappy speakers. Now to put together an inspire-Lee-to-write playlist on Spotify (suggestions welcome and encouraged!) #BlissIsSonosPlusSpotify #MusicMakesMeHappy

FUN is looking back at this time a year ago, February and early March were so full. We enjoyed a lot of travel and had a lot of fun in Oakville, Brockville, Las Vegas and New Brunswick. It was a relief for both of us to feel safe enough to be silly. Bill brought out the best in me, and (think) I did the same for him. #SuchAFunChapter #MotownNight #BrockVegas #IMissUs

016/100 While living downtown I might as well take advantage of all the fun things to do. Last night had me at a sleep clinic. For a while now I haven’t felt rested even though I get a minimum of 8-hours of sleep every night (according to my FitBit). Sensors were stuck all over me and then I was expected to have a restful night. I did my best! No doubt I’ll be napping today. #SleepStudy #TakeCareOfMe #iPhone11Pro #EverydayPhotos #The100DaysProject #100DaysofLINARPhotos

TRUSTING that with one last big packing “push” the last of the odds and sods the house will be boxed up and ready for storage. The only thing left will be the big clean up of the house and sweep out of the garage. #LeaveNoMessOrCobwebs

GRATEFUL to receive more answers than questions at my annual MedCan assessment. Except for weight and age, all of my numbers are good - at least my bloodwork and other tests make me appear young and thin, on paper! #CareForMeSoICanCareForThem

INSPIRED to slow down and take some time over the weekend to enjoy the liminal space between here and there. I realize I don’t have be productive, filling my days with work or projects. I can spend quiet time lounging on the couch with the dogs, fireplace on, tea steeping while reading one of a dozen books in my TBR pile. And, if I’m lucky, I get a nap, too. #ReleaseFrustration

FUN is planning my upcoming post-Covid trips. Where do I want to go first? Who do I want to go with? Who wants to come with me? The list is growing: Fogo Island, Greece + Croatia, the after-wedding trip (he’ll be there in spirit), Turks + Caicos, Canyon Ranch in Tucson - some are new destinations, some are repeats. #CantWaitToTravelAgain

TRUSTING I will become accustomed to waking at the crack of dawn to garb up in parka, boots, hat, scarf and mitts to take the dogs 42 storeys down to do their business, the same journey is repeateda couple of times through the day and again before I go to bed. #yesiwearmypajamas #inpublic

GRATEFUL to have Caden and the beasties all settled in to our new abode for the next 6 months (or more). It was the right choice. That said, it’s been my experience that right rarely means easy. #emotionalsupport2.0

INSPIRED by my (late) annual update and reset at MedCan. One day in the year dedicated to me and my health - I am now armed with an updated plan on how to live optimally. Steady progress is still progress, right? #timetoboostgoodcholesterol #helloavocadonutsandfish

FUN for us is exploring the multitude of fresh food offerings in downtown Toronto - not to mention the ethnic diversity. YUM! #gastronomicadventures

Amid my current chaos, it only just occurred to me

Amid my current chaos, it only just occurred to me that Bill has been gone 6-months today. I miss him tremendously though he continues to be ever-present while I feel the constant gaping hole of his absence. He was the most beautiful man in every way. The bright side? I am blessed to have known him, he was a gift. #heshowsupinfunnyways #blessed #alwaysabrightside #anamcara

TRUSTING this round of Mercury Retrograde (startin

TRUSTING this round of Mercury Retrograde (starting today) will bring with it only good things as we relocate to Toronto - a detour on our way north. We will rest and read and take the time to reevaluate our choices and how we choose to show up in the world. I plan to enjoy this period of assessment and adjustment. #mercuryretrograde

GRATEFUL that Caden’s chemo treatments have started so quickly after his initial diagnosis. It will be a challenging six-months (and likely more) - I plan to make him as comfortable as possible. I have faith that his treatments will be met with great success and he’ll beat Nelson, the name he gave his tumour. #fucknelson #nonhodgkinlymphoma

INSPIRED to hit the ground running, er, walking, with my participation in #the100dayproject. I plan on taking a photo every day while I walk the dogs. This is a time of transition for me and my kids and I’m happy to have a creative opportunity to document it. (This may end up being two separate projects - how many photos can be taken while walking the dogs? I wanted to do something to force me to get out of the house and this is it!)

FUN planning a little birthday get together for Cole who has been isolated up in Southampton since mid-month when we got the keys. Who wants to bet his vanilla “supermarket cake” (his favourite) will be, as tradition has it, spelled wrong? Happy Birtday, Cole! #missingtheh #heturns24

TRUSTING it’ll all get done! This moving business - especially in stages, with an extra move tossed in - is a bit exhausting but I know it’s going to be worth it. Now to get the renovations underway! I’ll be living in suspended animation for the next six months.

GRATEFUL to be in a position to take care of my family when they need extra attention and care. The next few months will be uncertain and scary; but, I know that we’ll pull through and be all the stronger for it. #fucknelson

INSPIRED by the incredible Amanda Gorman (@theamandagorman on Twitter) and her incredible poem which she wrote and recited at the US inaugural celebration. Her interview with Anderson Cooper revealed what a poised young woman - we are all extraordinarily blessed by her beautiful mind and experience.

FUN is realizing that sometimes life gets in the way of your plans and expectations have to change. I might as well have fun and make the most of the opportunity. What is the alternative?
