Cranes are glorious

Wow, what a day! We slept in, it felt so luxurious. Then we took Herc for a walk and went down to the river to let him play with the rocks. It is so adorable when he sticks his head underwater looking for a rock! He gets just far enough away from us that he thinks, "should something go awry they can still get to me and save me." He loves to swim! He thinks he is a bird dog. When he was a puppy our neighbors had a bird dog named Maddie who Herc fell in love with and became convinced he was just like her...we've been trying to convince him ever since that he is a pit bull, baddest of the bad, tough guy and such, he's not buying it. Anyway when we were getting ready to head home he went down a side stream and "spooked" a magnificent grey crane. He was about 10' away when the crane lifted off and Herc looked at us like "did you see that?" The bird was bigger than him! What a phenomenal way to start a day. Cranes are one of the most beautiful birds I've seen and to see them fly is glorious!

We ended the day by visiting with Jason's sister Jenn and her two youngest girls Faith and Gracie. Nothing feels better than having an 8 year old cling to you and an 11/12 year old run to hug and kiss you hello! Jenn has had severe health problems for the past 8 years and she looked so good today. She has taken herself off of oxycontin, and it has been 4 days. That is impressive, all I know is she looked healthy and clear and happy and it was good to see and talk to her again.

Then we went to Walmart and spent less than $100 what a great way to end the day! That never happens, I have only recently adjusted to the $200 plus bills so it was nice to go back to the old days and spend less than $100. Of course part of the reason for even going to Walmart today was to buy the last book in the Twilight saga and it was sold out! My dad and Karen went yesterday and said there were stacks left, tonight they were all gone. I really bad wanted it to be Jason's fault that they were gone. I should have gone yesterday, but I thought today would be fine. I am VERY disappointed. I will have a hard time concentrating on work tomorrow. I may have to take a break and go to the Washington Walmart and/or Costco to buy Breaking Dawn. I have got to read that book. I can't wait to see who Bella ends up with, will it be Edward or Jacob? I've gotta get that book! Darb recently emailed me the first chapter of the next book, Twilight from Edward's perspective and I am already hooked on that too! Oh to be Stephanie Meyer...I am going to write, it is in my future. Don't worry about the how, or when or who or what, just focus on the desire and why I want it and then practice allowing goodness to flow in.
I recently read the 3rd book in the Sara Series by Esther and Jerry Hicks and can't wait to read number 4. I am practicing feeling good. When I get distracted and feel something negative I remember that it is simply my guidance system reminding me to find something that feels better and focus on that. There is so much joy to focus on, there is so much fun to observe and experience! My soul is a joy producing being! My body is a health producing and healing organism! I love my life.
