Day 135 - Feel like a kid!

I often think of the conversations I have had when I am volunteering at hospice.

It’s such an honour and priviledge to sit and be with someone at the end of life.

I often receive great wisdom, such as:

1. Eat the cake

2. Take the vacation

3. Drink the wine

4. Embrace the pause

5. Laugh more

6. Live each day as if it was your last

I have kept such advice in the forefront of my habits of thinking.

I spontaneously choose to do self-care and ’feel good’ things on a regular basis. This week I visited our local fall fair. I have not been to this fair since my children were small (over 20 years!).

I walked around in awe. I smelled the food, loved the music, witnessed the joy of all in attendance and I paused to take it all in.

I even ate a pogo dog, sat in a chair and watch young people enjoy one of my favourite rides.

I took the hour to embrace memories that I have engraved in my heart and loved to reminisce, enjoy and live like a kid in the moment. 💙
