A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. Inspired by Soulemama.

this quiet woman sits perched on the window sill by the kitchen sink…reminding me to breathe in CALM (and out again)…..blossom……and see the secret inside (the girls tucked a secret in the polka dot fabric for me)
Oh how lucky I am to live by the sea…and World Oceans Day is the perfect day to celebrate being here. After a week full of Oceans Day events (an incredible community celebration on Gabriola, photos to come….and a beach field trip with a Grade 6/7 class of budding marine biologists), I was happy to have one more special way to honour this internationally important date on the actual date that it marks calendars all over the globe.
I started today enjoying a commute to work on a ferry in the sunshine. Once at work I participated in a beach clean up with my coworkers (oh the smiles were so big, there is nothing like doing good works together to boost morale….they loved the prizes I raffled off, especially the cloth bags with my sea star painting and the notebooks I filled with cast off office paper). On the way home I stopped to sit at the shore under a giant fir with two eagles snuggled on their perch, looking out to sea & chittering away. After I finish this post, I am going to cap off the day reading my fave ocean blog.
How did you celebrate the ocean today?
A fellow blogger likes to post “seven little things” she is loving in a given day. what a beautiful idea. I did not take seven photos from my day, but it certainly has been full of little things I have loved. Here’s my list, as a reminder to me to be grateful and aware of all the goodness in my life!
a bird chirping from the top of the tree outside my window
a session with my healer
a walk with a friend
fresh baked oatmeal raisin cookies
two eagles soaring by and chittering to each other (and me?)
a bath followed by a cat nap in my blue room
brown rice simmering away and salmon from last summer in the oven
What simple little things are you loving today?
