Today I participated in another of my favorite mindfulness practices, one concerning impermanence, like sand painting but with squashes, already scattered and but a memory. Tomorrow I will fill the slow cooker with leek and potato, celeriac and parsley root, and some imaginal cells to remind me that next summer will unfurl its colorful wings in time. . . . → Read More: ~thankful thursday~ fall crops and late bloomers 
It may take more years of this practice before I can truly feel thankful for darkness, or the meltdown it initiates in me. Simmering in my slow cooker today, I’m grateful for memories of summer, excellent walks with my husband, and butterflies. . . . → Read More: ~thankful thursday~ shadows and butterflies  One comment  abundance, gratitude, lifelong learning, natural world, parenting  abundance, band, being a mama, books, butterflies, executive function skills, family, gratitude, lifelong learning, light, love, monarchs, music, nana, nature, nourish, ocean, outside, parenting, photography, self care, shadows, sunset, thankful thursday, webs
