A perfect sunny day for another trip into Saskatchewan. My goal was to sample all the small town Chinese cafes. So far this is the first one - in Humboldt. It was an excellent choice. We shared a delux wonton soup and a Vietnamese dish consisting of shrimps, barbecued pork, chicken and vegetables on top of broad rice noodles. Everything was fresh. No taste of MSG. The surroundings clean and pleasing. #smalltowncafes #chinesecafes #transcafe #humboldt #taleswithfriendsAugust Break - Two - Two legs with feet. What we Chinese call the #11 bus. Aren’t we witty? I walk in my own two flip flops. And the two of us, Sheba and I, all in black. Life doesn’t get any better than this. #augustbreak2019 #susannahconway #two #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsI hope to win a spot with @susannahconway #dailyguidancecourse. I could use the help. #taleswithfriendsA perfect sit spot right in my own backyard. I have my cuppa, Leonard Cohen, Pena Chodron and Sheba for company. #sitspot #inmybackyard #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsAugust Break - Movement - There’s moves involved whether you’re sailing on the lake or through life. Some movements are more intricate than others. Not an easy thing going to the bathroom on or off a boat. Then there’s the climbing back aboard the boat or your life when you’ve gotten off. #augustbreak2019 #susannahconway #movement #video #taleswithfriendsAugust Break - My Hands - My hands are not pretty especially through the lens of the camera. My big knuckles and wrinkly skin are captured. But these are working hands of a nurse of 30+ years. They have hung IV bags, dispensed pills, drawn up injections, washed many bodies, wiped more than a few bums, lifted, turned, tucked, fed, emptied, filled...Now no longer a nurse’s hands, they knead dough and wash many a thing. Today they picked beans, raspberries and strawberries. They filled the raised vegetable beds with water and watered the garden. They washed the beans, prepping and freezing 2 bags and fermenting 2 jars. Needless to say, they’re a little stiff and achy in the morning. But they’re doing well. They hurt all of last year, from May to May. So Hallelujah! #augustbreak2019 #susannahconway #myhands #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsAugust Break - Picnic - Looks and sounds can be deceiving. I have never found life to be a picnic. I have had to work very hard for every inch of it. But then that’s why I value it. #augustbreak2019 #susannahconway #picnic #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsAugust Break - Number - I sit in mindfulness with Mark Williams every morning for 20 minutes. I sit with my spine erect, my head straight above my shoulders, my shoulders relaxed and squared with my hips. I sit for 20 minutes in wakefulness to each moment as it unfolds, however it reveals itself to me. #augustbreak2019 #susannahconway #number #20minutes #mindfulness #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsAugust Break - Intentions - I had a list of intentions for today. Proud I kept them before allowing myself to put my feet up. So laundry hung, dried and taken down, garden watered, kohlrabi kimchi made and Sheba walked. We’re tired. Finally lounging. #augustbreak2019 #susannahconway #intentions #lounging #taleswithfriendsAugust Break - Favourite Smell - breakfast cooking, the whole enchilada. It’s a once in awhile indulgence after a Saturday morning swim. #augustbreak2019 #susannahconway #favouritesmell #photochallenge #taleswithfriends

WORDS, WONDER AND AWE
It’s another hot day. For now I can still sit here on the deck. I am trying to tap out a few letters, words, a thought or two. They do not come easy, but I try anyways. That is how … Continue reading
