Happy sweet treats tuesday! :) paw prints of love, forever in our hearts :)

Writing my journal a little differently today, but in the same heart-felt way, with all of the love of my heart :)
Happy sweet treats tuesday!!! :) Enjoying these peaceful, gentle moments of the day today, with family and friends, and a friend forever, that remains in my heart, here with me in spirit :) i hope everyone is having a nice day too :) Those sunflowers outside, are soaking up the golden warmth of the final weeks of summer season, as we have a very hot and humid day here. it's amazing, to stand amongst that golden glow of the sunflowers all happily smiling in the garden together, while holding an iced coffee, and thinking of the joys, of how this past spring season, i held lots of those sunflower seeds in my hand, and i planted them with a garden dream in my heart :) my family planted some of the seeds too :) an incredible gardening journey it has been, and continues to be, as the season rewards us, in many wonderful ways :)
This morning, my mom, Lisa, and i enjoyed a nice trip over to the dunkin donuts, and mcdonalds, to get some treats :) every tuesday, we look forward to this tradition :) we always wish you all could go with us, to get some treats too :) i imagine us all getting the treats, and coming back to our house here, sitting by the gardens, and sipping our favorite teas/coffees, and the birds all singing happily for us :) That certainly would be the day, and an amazing time it would be :) Simple joys, and peaceful gentle moments of the day, are some of the most heart-felt, that really gets my days going, with an intensity in my spirit, a bounce and pep in my step, and makes me feel like my spirit soars :)
All this gardening season, i've felt like there's been a wonderful spirit with me, that really joins me, every day, and that spirit is a special angel friend, i would like to take some time, to mention, to write about, and to share about, in a loving remembrance here in my journal today. We've got lots of new friends, over the years, and i want to write to share. Every day, you may see in my journal, a special note toward the bottom of my journal, about my cat Wildthing :) i name it, "to wildthing, peaceful gentle moments of the day", and i write a short note, about something that happened during the day, that was peaceful, gentle, and also brought spirit into my day :)
It's a special tribute i have for Wildthing, who was with us, for an amazing, and awesome cool 12 years. :) this day, is the 2nd anniversary of his passing. it's hard to believe, it's been 2 years already, especially how it feels like it was yesterday at times, but 2 years have passed now, and not a day has gone by, where i haven't thought of him. whether it's a glance over toward our dryer area in our hallway, or a reflective glance over by our kitchen counter, where the sunrise sunshine flows into our window, and he'd be waiting for me in the morning to give him some half and half cream milk. :) or a sunny day in the garden, where i'm in the garden, and i glance over toward my room window, where i discovered wildthing a few times, watching me over the years, while gardening :) he felt, he saw, and he knew, me in my peaceful gentle moments of the day :)
After his passing, it's what inspired me, to begin a short little area of my journal, each day, to jot/write down a note, so that in spirit, he can continue to feel those moments that reflect and beam from my heart, to where ever his spirit may be, i love to think he can still feel it :) that's a really comforting thing for me :) Wildthing really knew, how special you all are, to us, and how wonderful you all are, amazing friends :) i remember bringing him into my computer room here, and it sure was neat, to hold him, and show him the cards, and my writing area, treasures shelves :) he looked like he wanted to play with everything! hehe! :) that's a cool memory, of my very cool angel friend, Wildthing, that i hold dear, and close to my heart :)
Pets, truly do become a special part, of our family's. :) i know in recent days, i've been thinking very closely, and often of, some friends, who have lost some pets. Judy (LadyBug7), and Denny lost their Dylan (Cat), and DC (DCUK) lost her Pippa (Dog). i've been putting lots of my heart, spirit, and energy into thoughts for them, thoughts for healing, and love for them, to have comfort, and peace, during these sad times. it's never easy, coping with loss, in all facts/forms of life. whether it's family, friends, pets, or something else we're passionate about in life, loss can take some time, for us to heal, and time for us to be able to move on. there can be an empty feeling within our hearts, that is then filled with remembrance love, and memories, that makes it a little easier, to cope with the times, and moving on, to being able to experience some more spirited times.
Family, Friends, will always be the angels, who help us heal, in our most needed times. feeling loved, cared for, and feeling like we're needed, and wanted. those moments, no matter how much they occur during a day, can be just the right amount, and right enough feeling of comfort, to let our hearts, and spirits know, the next day, can, and will be a bit better :) i wrote some hugs to Judy, Denny, and DC in recent days, and i told them, and mentioned to their hearts, and souls, about how i believe, there's definitely a heaven, and right now, as much as it hurts, knowing our pets aren't with us physically, they are spiritually, and with that spirit energy, they gather in a special place in heaven, where they are very happy, at peace, feeling our love, with every beam of golden sunshine, they send that same feelings of love, back within our hearts. :) For our friends Judy, and Denny, DC, and all our friends, to anyone who has lost a pet over the years, they most certainly are still with us. :) even when we feel a little empty feeling inside, and feel like the part of us that has tears, will never empty out fully, it's ok, because we can know, we gave a special friend, an amazing life, and with that, we can forever feel, their PAW PRINTS OF LOVE, FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS :) Thank you angel friends, for reading :)
my family and i are having a peaceful day today :) i put some good focus into some things i wanted to accomplish today, including some writings, putting together a treasures package, i also been enjoying a pumpkin spiced iced coffee :) just taking it easy today, spending time with family,and friends :) my spirit is gonna soar with our post office adventure tomorrow. :) i also look forward to continued decorating, for fall season, and bringing out some halloween decorations soon too :)lots of preparations, to put together a special halloween town display, for October, 2014 :) i think it'll be my 7th halloween town i've decorated :) looking forward to it :) my family and i thank you all so very much, for all of your amazing love, care, support, encouragement, and for believing in me, and having faith in me :)you all are very special, amazing friends to us :) We love you all very much, and will always be here for you all :) We deeply appreciate your kindness, and generousity, with all of the love of our hearts :) BIG GROUP SUNSHINE HUG :) There's many more good times, and great things, to look forward too :)
-never lose hope :)
my mom says hi :) She says, "i hope everyone is doing well :) She says, "i hope everyone had a good day" :) awww! :) We love you all bunches and bunches, our dear friends :) We think of you all often, and we hope everyone is having a peaceful day :)
TO WILDTHING, PEACEFUL GENTLE MOMENTS OF THE DAY :) Wildthing, Paw Prints of Love, forever in our hearts :)

Summer smiles :) Today, i took some new pictures of the plants :) i really miss my old camera/super zoom. i can't wait until it arrives :) i've been taking some pictures with my backup digital camera, that works fairly well :) i just so very much, want to be able to super zoom in again, on the plants, sunflowers :) my camera is being shipped tomorrow, and will be arriving soon :) i'm a little lost without my super zoom camera right now, but  i'm thankful i've been able to still take some pictures, using my T700 Sanyo digital camera :)




The gourds are doing great! :)

That is a very nice tribute to Wildthing, dear Chris!!! I applaud you for your LOVE for a special friend who went quietly to Kitty who graced you with his presence for 12 years... How lucky you are to have had Wildthing in your life as he touched a special place in your heart...

I have those same beautiful autumn colored sunflowers here on my farm... In fact, I have one that has been watching me from my \" Florida Room\" for the past week... They all bring me so much joy in the summer! I even have a pot of miniature sunflowers that planted in a pot over by the pond. I\'ve also found that have a pond is not my choice! I tried to close it down, but the frogs had a different idea... LOL I just let it roll now without a filter which was the main problem anyway... More tomatoes which I will fire roast tomorrow for the winter, and one I used instead of pizza sauce on Cj\' Pita Pizza for dinner tonight... It was delicious!!! Had a big salad on the side and the best dinner thank you Goddess!!! Garden veggies will be MISSED! The tomato was a Jersey Giant which are like a roma paste tomato on STEROIDS! At least 3 times the size of a roma which paste-like flesh...

Love to you and Mom and Dad and everybody in CT!!! Have a wonderful evening continuing to appreciate and enjoy your memories of Wildthing! You are a LUCKY MAN to have had him in your life!!! xoxoxo Cj

I also love your schedule of dayz and often make sure I follow them as well!! Traditions and scheduled events just make life a little more predictable when it simply is not always so...

A beautiful heartfelt tribute and remembrance you shared about Wildthing. Thank you for this. what a great looking kitty WildThing was. And I think its really nice that you remember him in journals and on this day of his passing. I know how sad it is to loose a animal/friend. You helped me with your words of comfort when my dog died. And others did too. So I hope that you know I care and that I know that you and your family loved and gave WildThing a great life. I am glad that you are enjoying your day STT,and that your doing okay and WIldThings memory will live on in your heart. big Hugs and love sent your way. Hugs & Greenies
