I Like

Thank you LeeAnna for keeping us all on track with interesting questions.

how are you coping with the heat dome this year?

I love the heat.  Winters in Canada can feel interminably long so summer is always looked forward to with glee.  Now, when the heat is mixed with 99% humidity then I am not so gleeful.  I find myself again hibernating in the house and ever so glad that hubby insisted on A/C when we replaced the furnace.  

I do try to spend at least some time outside even on the hottest days.  I know I will regret it if I don't.  I found that beautiful leaf last week so I know autumn is coming.  I love the fall but there is always a tinge of sadness that summer is ending.

Hubby is away camping this week.  I love my man and I love when he goes away.  There is such lovely freedom in looking after only oneself.  This week hasn't been quite so free though.  I have been busy hosting doggos.  Yesterday I had four of them including my own.  That is my limit.  I know other care providers host more but that does not appeal to me.  

I did get a copy of The House of Belonging by David Whyte.  Yesterday I was inspired by the line

This is the temple

of my adult aloneness

I had a few moments of quiet and wrote my own poem using that line as a jumping-off point.  I quite enjoy doing that!  Give it a try!
