I love how you are embracing new technology through apps and your computer to help keep your mind curious and calm. I also think it’s important to maintain traditional forms of crafting and creating too.

Love your selfie!

That's some beautiful artwork!

It seems like you're doing well and focusing on good things in life and I'm glad to see that. Here we're starting to see the change in seasons too.. and I'm all for it. We've had some warmer days lately and a fantastic spring day on Friday last week. My climbing roses haven't cared about the 4 degrees we otherwise had last week, they are still budding because it's February!

I browse through the news (Irish and Swedish sources) once a day, ditched traditional social media (except I'm still on Facebook but that's ok, I just use it occasionally), and feel good.

It's been a VERY hot and dry summer over here in WA Denyse, there seems to be fewer cooler evenings and mornings this year. Still, life is good and it's good to see you taking care of yourself and enjoying life intentionally and well. x

Oh yes, Summer can be cruel and I am grateful for air conditioning. It's always a worry around fires too of course and we are hoping for nothing dramatic anywhere...the world is not needing more!

Thanks Leanne, it's been a time of learning how to self care with intention and I know I am getting value from it.

Take care,

Denyse x

The sun really hits our house in the mid afternoon but yesterday I said to Ben it didn’t feel quite as bad as it had all summer - and then it cooled off more! My heat intolerance is so glad we’re coming to the end of unrelenting heat season.

Weather is such a factor in comfort for most of us but when you have a condition that's exacerbated by weather (heat for you) it's seems so unfair! Glad you are noticing a change for the good. Being outside is great when you can do that!
