Day 29 - Navigator (Compass)

Decided to do the Inktober Challenge this month, doing my Simple Things drawings - which I haven't done in a few years!

Feels nice to do traditional ink drawings again.

At some point I'll upload these drawings as cards on my Etsy store.

Yesterday was like a miracle.

A family friend invited me to her house which I was so glad to accept. When I got in her house, she already had delicious food prepared. She listened to my stories while we peacefully ate. She prepared me a hot bath. She helped me dry my hair. She let me sleep knowing how tired I was from working night shift. She joined me again for lunch and we talked some more. She enjoyed watching an old film with me and offered me her favorite Brazilian nuts. She set up a massage for me so I can relax. Once again, she prepared me food for dinner.

“This is what I do when my children are here.” She said quietly.

I didn’t know if it was being served or being loved, or having someone or having a ‘mother’ was the highlight of this trip but it made me cry with so much joy. Those may be simple things yet it was my heart’s desire. I have never thought someone would actually do those for me. This day won’t be forgotten. Thank God for her life. ✨

Romance doesn’t have to be a complicated or exaggerated show with flowers, chocolates, and public declarations of love.

No, I’ll take my husband’s steady hand in mine, helping me out of the shower when my migraine makes me so dizzy I can’t see straight, or his quiet concern when the pain overwhelms me, and he brings me my ice packs to wrap around my head.

Don’t get me wrong; he still brings me flowers just because he thinks they will bring a smile to my face, which is so adorable. And we both plan date nights even after almost thirty years together.

So to me, I suppose it’s the little everyday things, being there for each other in times of need and, most of all, carving out time for the two of us and watching a movie, cuddling on the couch, walking hand in hand downtown, having an intimate dinner at our favorite restaurant it doesn’t have to be fancy as long as we take the time to reconnect, find our quiet in this busy world.

I’m ready for Mother’s Day. I cleaned the griddle too.

Pôr do Sol

Ontem eu vi o céu. O Sol me chamou. Ele se despedia num espetáculo silencioso e dançante, Numa música que só os atentos ouviam. Brincava por entre as árvores e nuvens no horizonte e era quase possível olhar diretamente pra ele. Os pássaros pareciam dançar aos pares, e as nuvens também. Era lindo, colorido, um show à parte. As cores migrando do amarelo, para o laranja e finalmente para o rosa e roxo.

Fechei os olhos por um momento para fazer uma oração silenciosa, mas senti algo bater no meu lábio superior. Abri os olhos como quem é chamada para ver algo, e não fechei mais.

Só consegui sair dali quando o último tom de rosa sumiu. Perdi a noção do tempo, mas facilmente um hora se passou comigo em pé, de pijama, apoiada à janela, num friozinho de fim de dia.

Me imaginei voando com os pássaros e no meio das nuvens, douradas e depois cor de rosa, em movimentos leves, livres e ritmados.

Não havia celular para registrar o momento, mas esse com certeza ficou gravado em mim. O Bing Bong nas nuvens, me lembrando de ir até a lua, As fadas, os peixes e as sereias nas nuvens, me lembrando da minha essência, Os pássaros, e até patos, voando no céu me lembrando da leveza e da liberdade que me habitam.

Por fim não resisti e cantarolei uma canção inventada, e um pássaro parou para ouvir, e mais outro e depois mais outro. E enquanto cantarolava eles olhavam pra mim, cantando também quando eu parava.

Não foi só um pôr do sol, não foi só um presente sensorial, foi uma lembrança para ser eu, sempre.

Com um coração leve e cheio de gratidão, me despedi agradecendo pelo presente tão simples e especial.

Sometimes, you've got to take a leaf out of the kiddos book.

Let go of all the things that are pulling you down, go out and enjoy the simple things ...like skipping stones at the beach and watching the sun set 🌅

This short story explores how we try to capture moments in life with photographs, objects, and memories. It touches on how we gather things to remember special times, like family photos, ticket stubs, or even a small pebble from a canoe trip. These objects serve as reminders of the fun and meaningful experiences we have, but they also show how we try to hold onto moments in a world that’s constantly changing. https://writtentales.substack.com/p/sea-glass

Let Life Happens

The mistake we make in life is thinking we have time.

Be present. Love more and love now.

Pay more attention to how life feels to you than how it looks to others.

Sometimes you need yo slow down, remain calm and simple let life happens.

Take a deep breath and focus on the simple and important things.

You are alive, you are breathing and you are enough as you are.
