I often think of the conversations I have had when I am volunteering at hospice.
It’s such an honour and priviledge to sit and be with someone at the end of life.
I often receive great wisdom, such as:
- Eat the cake
- Take the vacation
- Drink the wine
- Embrace the pause
- Laugh more
- Live each day as if it was your last
I have kept such advice in the forefront of my habits of thinking.
I spontaneously choose to do self-care and ’feel good’ things on a regular basis. This week I visited our local fall fair. I have not been to this fair since my children were small (over 20 years!).
I walked around in awe. I smelled the food, loved the music, witnessed the joy of all in attendance and I paused to take it all in.
I even ate a pogo dog, sat in a chair and watch young people enjoy one of my favourite rides.
I took the hour to embrace memories that I have engraved in my heart and loved to reminisce, enjoy and live like a kid in the moment. 💙
