Calm before the storm, it was so still this morning & I couldn’t help but think how interesting it is that everything really is so calm, before a storm…

The river, the air, and then in hours, the wind can whip up with a force that blows snow sideways & just roars!

Life is like that too, you can be all calm & comfortable & feel so safe & BAM gale force life winds come & shake you up…
it’s probably why we get nervous when things are “too good”, cuz its the calm before the storm & we’re afraid of the storm.

But, maybe it’s good sometimes, things blow away & you’re left with a feeling of nakedness only the trees in the fall know..

it’s raw & weird & a clean slate & eventually with time & the changing of seasons you find your own rhythm again..

As it goes..

nature & life 💚

I don’t know if you know this..
but if you need iron supplements, you can get them behind the counter at Walmart pharmacy for under $5 for 100 days worth..
Instead of the fancy ones on the shelves for wayyyy more.
They were dr recommended & they’re just as good as the others!

Just more affordable.

Also, don’t forget iron always needs to be paired with vitamin c (juice, fruit etc) for it to absorb & it’s not supposed to be taken within an hour of dairy.

We’re heading into flu season, make sure your iron is good!

For years I’ve wandered around.. Alberta, BC, NL..

Always fascinated & humbled by these memorial benches in pretty places..

They’re everywhere & never have I ever gotten to talk to a widow of the spouse whose spirit probably hangs at the bench ❤️

Until yesterday..
I’ve been feeling really disjointed, lonely, grieving, adjusting, lost, a bunch of things, good & bad & in between..it’s alot.

& I was lost in my head & heart, walking along & stopped to chat with an elderly man puttering about his yard..

we talked about the river & trees & kayaking & moose & he told me the story about the trees he planted that his kids dragged home from school decades ago..
beautiful trees 😍

I said that I loved the bench & it was a beautiful spot, told him I’ve been wandering around for years taking pictures of memorial benches, he wanted me to take a pic of his wife’s.. 🥹

Told me she passed 7 years ago.

We smiled at each other & said goodbye & I’ll likely see him puttering about again..

Today though, I stopped & sat a bit on her bench, I was working out some stuff & sat & rested & when I left, I felt stronger..
I got this 💪

I also realized again, as i often do, that in life, it’s these random encounters with strangers that are like pockets of connection & love, and I couldn’t help but also observe, like I have time & time again, that they always happen when you need connection the most. ❤️

I’ve found a sensory friendly spot to hide away sometimes & do computer/life admin work..

Growing up, all the cool things happened here! (They still do)

The library, Concerts, events & I could never forget all of our high school musicals..which were always pretty exciting.

& I remember secretly wanted to be in the bell canto choir sooo bad, for so many years, I used to think they were so lucky ❤️

Today as an adult, with pretty rough sensory issues..walking in here in the daytime is like a blanket of peace.
There’s a whole feeling of an exhale just beyond the doors.
I walk in & instantly its..ahhhh

It’s really hard to find spots that feel right & won’t fry my nervous system..
but this is one of them & the gallery upstairs is such a cozy introvert hideaway!

10/10 sensory satisfactory place to hang out, get work done, snack & exist unbothered & non stressed!

Gordon Pinsent Centre for the arts ❤️

Beautiful spot!

Love that this monument exists 🧡

Botwood is pretty & the caramel pumpkin spice iced coffee from The Railway Cafe was delicious!

Ate the whipped cream with the cinnamon stick as a spoon, people who don’t eat the whipped cream are odd. lol

Grateful I get to go on weekend day trips to beautiful places 🩷

I’m having a really hard time settling here & I miss my kids & puss & home fiercely.

Like..FIERCE.
It’s like a hole in my heart truly. The grief is RAW.

So.. this really really helps…

Shout out to Dad & mom for letting me wander around in their sweet toyota ❤️

Little nearby adventure today 💚

I set out to find a cute cafe to sit & sip & be cozy & comfy and there’s not one! 🫠 bit shook.

But..
I did find a take out cafe option with a decent coffee & a cherry cream cheese danish straight outta the oven, with a nature trail! 🥰

So I wandered through the woodsy pretty bog stuffing my face & all was well.

NL is full of spots like this!
Unspoiled natural beauty.

Thunder Brook 💕

I’m a real nerd for cool tree roots & even though I spent a good portion of the teenage years going here, this was my first time up to second falls & the bathtub.

& y’all are nuts for jumping off those rocks. lol.

Then Gander Bay south, north, lewisporte & lunch at woolfreys pond & back home again.

Special treat It was to have spring water! Tis delicious!
