Five Simple Things (April 18)

 Hello.

Here are five things this week.

1. This hunt.



We participated in the Natural Grocers Golden Easter Egg Hunt this week. They have this golden egg hunt every year, but this is the first year we've participated in it. We were afraid that we weren't going to find one, but as soon as Skylar came around the corner to where the cereal is, he spotted it. We ended up winning a $25 shopping card. It was such a cool thing to be part of. We also needed a few things, one being honey. When we went to pick the jar up it fell over in the cart and I noticed an outline of Arkansas. We picked it up and saw that the jar was made at the Arkansas Glass Corporation. Natural Grocers has a lot of products from Arkansas, and it's always nice to see things from my home state in stores in Oregon.

2. These rays.


The sun has been peeking out all week and everyone has been enjoying it, even Hardy.

3. This kid.



I have been dropping Skylar off at college lately and it's always nice to be able to still tell him to have a nice day. I also love the fact that he isn't embarrassed one bit to hug and kiss me goodbye each time. I will always be his biggest supporter in whatever he does in life.

4. These flowers.

A small bouquet with roses clipped from the rose bush in front of our house grace the fireplace mantel this week.

5. This anglaspel.

 

Given to me for free through Heirloom Art Company for being part of their insiders. It is such a wonderful, delicate thing, and we love watching it spin.

One last thing:

It's been a hectic last several months, but we are finally sending out Skylar's homeschool graduation announcements, and his Linn Benton Community College graduation announcements this week. Family and friends were excited to get them, too.

Positive affirmations this week:
Mental health issues sometimes get in the way of us showing others that they are important and loved. But, allowing ourselves to be open to others and still encouraging them helps our mental health, as well. When you need to, reach out for that support, too, but always show others that they are also supported. We can all get through these times together.
You can do this!🌈
