Blogtober: Day 17.

A good book and a warm cup of tea.

The best way to end a lovely, cold day!

Conference Night.

An "almost" annual evening with the best in the field ~ Dr. Alan Wofelt. He had a break during Covid so this was the first time back in Canada since then. We were allowed to have a free conference table to showcase our specialized baby loss program and our grief counselling services to grieving families who attended the evening, and for the community professionals who attended the following day sessions. Met so many amazing individuals and families. Blessed our community provides such amazing experiences for both the grievers and the supporters. Everyone wins!

P.S. The amazing soup in the top photo was my dinner with my other baby loss program directors. We always come early to set up and then take some time to have dinner together, catching up and supporting each other. The bottom plate is the snacks provided to both the attendees and the table hosts. So yummy and such a great event!

Tulips from amazing neighbors.

Candle light to warm our hearts.

Light and Bright Drive Home.

Before the time change this weekend. A light drive

home from being in town for the day. Beautiful!

Love how bright the sun was as it set. Soon it will

be late in the day before it goes down. Almost there!

Before Sunset.

The back of our cottage, just as the sun

starts to set. So excited that now our days

will begin to get longer and longer again.

And Spring is just 80 days away. Yes!!

Soft Light.

Evening sun coming in from the west

and softly lighting the guest bedroom.

One of my favorite spots in our little

cottage, especially when the sun hits it.

Evening Shadows.

A quick post, a quick shot. The sunlight is quickly

changing each day. I love capturing the evening

shadows that fill the house as the sun gets lower

in the sky. Our front entrance with stream of light.

Evening Routine.

My new nighttime routine during this Pandemic now

that I don't have meetings at night or work to do that

doesn't get done during the day. A warm cup of Brit

tea and a great book, also Brit. Corrie on the telly and

a chocolate brownie made by a sweet grand baby. A wee

bit of downtime after busy days to keep focused and on

target for goals. Dh during this time each night is busy

broadcasting a radio show. Time on my own. Time away.

How are you staying focused?
How are you ending your day?

Early Evening.

Before the big storm last night, this is

what it looked like as we had dinner.

So calm and serene, with beautiful end

of the day sunlight streaming through,

Lamplight.

 Writing blog posts early in the morning.

Organizing photos that I've saved to post.

Planning the day. Clouds outside and a

wind that rattles the windows and doors.

I love lamplight at night. It brings a warmth to

our home and a cozy feeling of family and love.

When we're out driving at night, the homes that

have lamplight attract my attention. I imagine the

life that is happening in those spaces of comfort

and companionship. Laughter, conversation, even

arguments and silence. The light gives space for

activity and presence. It lights our way for living.

Early Evening.

I love early morning sun but truly my

favorite time of the day is early evening.

Just before the sun sets, when the light

is low and the world starts to quiet.

Before we settle in for the night and turn on

all the lamps, the soft landscape is peaceful.
