Aim High!

Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither. ~ C. S. Lewis

This is a new quote to me but I loved it when I read it. I think I do this unconsciously. Love life, dream big, breathe deeply.

The big news of the day is that I booked an Alaskan cruise for this summer as my big 50th birthday present to myself. I have wanted to do it for about a decade or so after seeing someone’s photos. This should be a great trip. I am going with a friend of mine from Vancouver. Pretty cool!!

I have had a lovely day. We have a group of “elders” at church that has been dubbed “the Chicken Delight” ministry because they have coffee after mass there during the week. Well, the restaurant closed and so they have moved elsewhere. I joined them for a cup of tea at the new spot today and caught up a little. I think they are a great little group and hope that when I retire, I will have a coffee gaggle to hang with.

From there, I walked over to my massage therapist’s office and had an hour-long massage. I am always grateful to be healed in this way. I know my body appreciates the extra loving care too.

I have just finished watching Grey’s Anatomy since I did not buy headphones last night and could not hear the music on the plane ride home. I did not get it. What did the songs have to do with the story? Someone really has to do better next time. That said the speaking parts of the show were good.

Back home, I am missing the warmer temps and the mountains but I can sense that spring is coming and so I am content. I am looking up rather than earth-bound and grumpy!

How is your day going?

Peace,

Suzanne
