Earlier this year I was introduced to this quick meditation and began each day like this. Fraser would join me if he had time in the mornings at home, and we would always do it on holidays as we had our early morning walk by the ocean or sitting on the dock or boathouse at the cottage.
One spring day, in 2022, I decided to escape this country. I wasn't technically 'allowed' to travel but woke up one morning, packed some swimsuits (and other things-but mainly swim/beach attire) and drove to the US border. They welcomed me within 5 minutes and then...I was free....and now what?! I called Fraser, (I didn't tell him my plan as I wanted to see if it would work first) he was working in Texas, and he said he'd meet me in Florida in 2 days. So, I booked some flights and we met in Tampa.
We had no 'plans' so kind of booked one day at a time. We ended up in Siesta Key and spent 7 full days there. Fraser said it was one of his favourite vacations (mine too). He actually relaxed...maybe because we didn't have to fret (such an old fashion word) about 'things' and just knew that we could go as we pleased....and we were with each other. It was an adventure that we got to make each day.
One day as we sat on the beach, the very large beach, people would walk right past us and, as much as I love sand, I do not actually enjoy it in my face while I breathe. Lol So, I stood up and drew a huge heart around us....people more than respected our boundary, it was quite interesting.... we were protected in our heart bubble. Totally cheesy yet totally effective!
It's these memories that bring me peace. We got to experience this and so much more. I am grateful we chose to try and balance the future and the now. Fraser and I, and I'm sure most people are the same, always vacationed well together. It brought us back to each other and we would often go over what we could bring back with us. And not in a 'thing' kind of way but in a 'how to reconnect when we're home' kind of way. It usually lasted at least a week...and then life...and then another get away to reconnect.
Over the past three weeks I have been getting messages from friends that Fraser came to them in a dream/channel and was showing them Hawaii....we have never been but it was on our list. I hadn't told anyone, so when my friend called last week and said, 'hey, I have some buddy passes! Want to go to Hawaii with me?!', I said yes. How wonderful to have people at home to look after Faya etc. so I get to have a quick getaway to sun and ocean for a few days...we were supposed to be leaving for Costa Rica this weekend...but Hawaii for me it is.
I will start each day with 'Thank You' and I know he will be there with me...(he's here with me too). 💕
Thank you for being here with me.
Sweet Dreams,
Brooke
Beautiful song. As I listened, my mind brought forth an image of you and Fraser dancing, heart to cheek (cuz, you know, height) and then I recalled a song with a similar feel that I believe was important to you both, maybe your first dance at your wedding? Or sung to your kids when they were little? - Harvest Moon? It was so nice, in my dreamy space this morning with eyes closed, witnessing your tender dance.
Sweet dreams of you, every night I go through.
So good to hug you.
