A HEART'S LANDSCAPE, An Invitation to the Garden of Moments by Susan Lax for Mother's Day gift giving.
Here we are in Easter Week. Springtime bulbs are emerging from the cold winter ground and showing us the gorgeous colors of yellow, pink, purple, and white against the backdrop of trees getting ready to bloom.
Soon after Easter is another holiday. Mother's Day is Sunday May 8, 2022. Mark your calendar. Mother's Day is always on a Sunday, just like Easter is always on a Sunday. As far at the numerical date, I have to consult a calendar!
Mother's Day also is the day the danger of frost has passed and the planting of blooming plants, garden vegetables, and perennials is safe. I'm not sure the significance of these two events being on the same day is about, but I think the gardeners of the country do!
This week I'm setting my sights on cleaning the house, grocery shopping and getting ready for Easter Sunday. It's also a good week to get ideas going for Mother's Day gifts. A HEART'S LANDSCAPE An Invitation to the Garden of Moments is a beautiful book by Spiritual Counselor Susan Lax . My first paging through the book I found soothing, comforting, relaxing photos and words to find the moments that bring joy to oneself.
In the days that followed my Mother's passing, I looked to the sky and the white fluffy clouds with the deepest blue sky as I traveled back and forth to my parents house to my own. It was a two hour drive one way. The vastness of the sky above me gave me peace, comfort, and that being in the moment feeling. I found how to enjoy the clouds and sky as it were. I wallowed in the beauty of the sky and also somehow looking for heaven at the same time.
