He asked if he could stay barefoot for our walk last night. “No” shot out of my mouth before I even thought about it. Upon reflection, I said “YES”. So glad I did! Loved watching him splash in the puddles.

E is for Expectation…”This journey will be much more fulfilling and full of joy, when we are able to live in the present moment and break the habit of being so rooted in our expectations. Expectations can be limiting. Once we loosen our grip on our expectations, we may find we have freed ourselves to allow an unexpected outcome to go way beyond anything we could have imagined.” Great book, Camilla Downs! I am thoroughly enjoying every page of it.” -Melanie G.
