It has been a day of beauty. Every time I looked out back or stepped out on the deck, there were butterflies all over the butterfly bush. I always pick fresh flowers on Sunday mornings for the house and there were butterflies all around me...I felt wrapped in love and beauty.
There is a peace that has been with me today. Maybe it is all the love and energy and prayers from those who loved Rick, maybe Rick himself has had a hand in it, but I have felt peace today.
I called a dear friend this afternoon. She did not know about Rick. She lives out of town and she is a fellow songwriter. We cried tears and promised as soon as it is safe we will get together.
A friend from California sent me wonderful words of comfort today.
On the Sunday before a full moon, Rick and I always did a gratitude ceremony. I continued that tradition this evening. Even with a broken heart there is much to be grateful for, and I can't let myself forget that. I gave thanks for my many blessings.
I hope that for all of you there has been peace in your lives today. I hope this coming week is full of kindness, good health and peace for us all. Let me introduce you to one of my visitors today. Isn't she a beauty!

ReplyDeleteSo very, very glad.
Ah ha! so you have the touch. I always marveled at Rick's ability to catch a butterfly on 'film', they never pose for me. Love the idea you have found some peace today. SWEET.

What a beautiful tradition to keep that you and Rick started. I feel like it was Rick sending you these butterflies since he took so many pics of them. I love butterflies and, in native teaching they mean Joy in Life
ReplyDeleteBeing surrounded by butterflies would give one a sense of peace. You have such a beautiful place there it would be a draw to butterflies with all the flowers. So glad you could feel some peace after oll the tumultuous days. Listening to the rain on the roof, lulled me right into s Sunday nap. Hope this week brings more peace your way. Keep the good thoughts, forget the bad. Love and hugs.
ReplyDeleteButterflies are a sign of love from a deceased person. Also watch for feathers especially whit ones. I think you will find them whenever you need a little boost.
