2. meditation: "His word runs swiftly"

3. word image : mamma bear

4. socialization: coffee dates with my girls

and movie gatherings at the guys' house

5. sleep: my wonderful luscious bed

beautiful performance

This is my latest glimpse of beauty: Seema Biswas, playing the character Shakuntala, a devote and faithful Hindu widow living in the poverty of an ashram in late 1930s India in the Deepa Mehta film, "Water." This beautiful character is strong, emotional, deep, compassionate, and seems to be continually searching and growing. What a joy to get to know this character through this film.

Sarala Kariyawasam also gave a fantastic portrayal of her character, a child widow, Chuyia.

olympics!!!

I've watched more sports than probably ever before, with this 2010 Winter Olympics. It brings me some pride that we in Canada are able to host it. And way to go on our first gold-in-country!!

looooong trip by car/kayak/jet ski

valentine's day

...or as I now enjoy referring to it as, gherkin day!

cheeses

also... sausage pie from the log barn.

Yay for doing things we've wanted to for such a long time!
