Lunch at the Farms

This photo was taken on Sept 30, 2013.
Then, we were here 1 month.
The promise of beginnings.
Living, then, in a small 1-bedroom apartment.
Now, 8 months later much to be thankful for.
Here and now.
Of this place, of this time.
Westhaven.
Parker's mountain nearby.
"Doing" the work of Act 3.
Choices made.
Grateful for this gift of time.
Grateful for our two grandchildren and the immense joy they bring.
They know us, now.
Grateful for this opportunity to "round out a life".
Grateful for rich everyday learnings (both positive and negative).
Learning as both surprise and sense making re shortfalls and missteps.
And the gift of bonus days.
Many inner contradictions still to be worked thru.
More, attention and discipline.
Greater intentionality.
Pure seeing.
Finding joy in others joy.
"Always, we begin again".
