june 8 day 44 Brazilian bar - a good time was had by all

we had a really good time - stayed out late dancing. i tried to samba and everyone was so nice about the fact that I really don't know how to samba - as the night wore on really i just danced more how i felt rather than trying to do the right steps. hubby danced with me - which alwasy makes me happy.

june 7 day 43 church storm DSC_0616

we went to get some fish to grill and the clouds were so fabulous. my sweetie is wonderful about making a detour for me if i see a photo I want to take. there is something really powerful to me about clouds and a cross.

Daily Examen - things to consider each day

1. Express Gratitude 2. Petition for light (see self & ohters in God's eyes, ask to see the role only I can play) 3. Review the day: look at day's actions, omissions, thoughts & desires what does this tell me aobut myself in relation to self, others, God, the world 4. Lift out something & ask for help 5. look ahead - how do I want to carry on (today - the rest of my life what / who do I want to be master of my life? what are my core values? )
