There is nothing a day in the forest can't fix. It was so much greener this time and full of waterfalls and rushing creeks that weren't there weeks ago. We went for a very long loop hike, ate strawberries and chocolate on tree stumps by a small shady creek, and played badminton by the lake until sunset. M skipped each time the birdie landed on his side of the branch "net" and he kept saying how much fun it is and laughing a lot. The sun was shining through the trees like a painting. It's a good way to practice mindfulness, keeping the eyes focused on the birdie. It was a very beautiful day, and now I am sore but happy.
Marigold garlands arrived and we created an ofrenda that turned out BEAUTIFULLY. It lights up at night and makes me so happy every time I walk by it.
We ate chapulines and lions mane and other delicious fun things, taking pleasure in all our senses, enjoying as much adventure and novelty (in small ways) as we can, safely. Enough to satisfy me.
He gives me massages now, and I love it. Life with him has been surprisingly good lately. We are appreciating each other and it feels reciprocal and soul nourishing and kind and fun and sweet. I'm enjoying having a playmate each week.
I'm fully relaxed today.
