Share Your World – September 11, 2017
…..thank you Cee for bringing me back to Share Your World
Would you want $200,000 right now or $250,000 in a year? It’s safe to assume all money is tax free.
I would want the smaller amount and invest it now. Who knows where I’ll be in a year? If I’m gone at least my family can enjoy the money.
Is it more important to love or be loved?
I think they go hand in hand. If you love others chances are you’ll be loved back and if you are loved you can’t help but give back that love. Having one without the other would be very disappointing or very frustrating.
List things that represent abundance to you.
Time with loved ones
Solitary days at the cottage
Freedom to paint
Reading a good book
A beautiful garden to relax in

Good food and drink with family and friends
Exploring new destinations, short and long trips
What inspired you this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.
This past week I was inspired by the opening of a new store in my neighbourhood. It’s a wool shop with a lovely sitting area where customers are encouraged to bring their knitting and sit and share their knitting experiences and challenges. I’m very excited about this new store and wish them good success. I’ve been inspired to pick up my knitting needles and I purchased some beautiful yarn for a sweater for my granddaughter. The store is called Spin Me a Yarn. Check it out.

New Flower (September 10, 2017) – Common Sunflower
….the giants of the flower family
Now that summer is coming to a close these giant sunflowers are starting to loose their seeds and bend their heads. I was lucky to see them in different locations this week. The first was at Weber’s on my way to Kashe Lake and the second at Dundurn Castle in Hamilton.

My Dad’s Love
…..even at 90 Dad gets excited about my birthday
Days before my birthday, Dad went shopping and picked up two dozen red roses that he kept hidden in his apartment. On the morning of my birthday he got up early and brought up the roses, a box of chocolates and a birthday card and set them on the kitchen table. When I woke up an hour later I was greeted with this lovely gift.

Later in the evening my husband, Dad and I went out for dinner at a new restaurant in the neighbourhood. Actually the restaurant has been there for ten years but it was our first visit. We had a lovely meal together.

I’m truly blessed that Dad is still so vibrant and healthy. He really has a zest for life.
