I am late posting this morning. C.C. and I went off to a barbeque/dance/stampede whoop-up that actually wasn’t…. It was last Thursday.  So, we drove the 45 minutes back into the city, went for a lovely dinner on the Mall and came home to both my daughters and some friends sitting on the deck enjoying the night. I did get to bed at a not too undecent hour but I slept in, awoke, and just made it in time for my 7:30am coffee date with a very dear friend.

Back home, take my daughter to drop off her car for servicing, come back, coffee and breakfast for those still at the house, a delightful hour on the deck chatting and spending quality family time, and now, I’m finally here.

But not for long.

C.C. and I are off to pick up Rush tickets for the Grandstand Show tonight at the Stampede. A busy day of this and that and we are on the run.

Which brings me to the importance of spending time with those you love.

Last night, at dinner, we laughed and shared and talked heart to heart. When we came home, we laughed and shared and chattered about life and living and time passing. We shared memories of ‘remember when’, ‘remember who’, ‘remember how’ and connected to what makes our lives so rich.

This morning, more of the same.

It really makes a difference.

To take the time to stop, breathe, connect.

enjoy and treasure.

Stop. Breathe. Connect.

Enjoy and treasure these moments, the people who mean so much and give such meaning to our lives.

It really makes a difference.

May your day be filled with those moments where you are connected in love with those who bring such meaning and richness to your life.

Namaste.
