This week we went on a boat ride around Lake Union. Anyone recognize this memorable house from a movie set in Seattle?
And here are other pictures from our cruise.

Tenderness: kids and animals
Our friends gave us this cat as a 4-week old 1.4 lb feral kitten that had been living in a dishwasher on the front porch of a home that was being renovated. Miss O was 3-years-old and pretended to read to her until she became comfortable with us. Mr. D has been talking to and trying to train her. Mostly he shakes the treats bag and she comes running.
I am a dog person but my kids have done a great job making Simone into a pretty fun cat.

I’ve often heard it said that Seattle has the highest sunglass sales per person than any other city in the United States. That might be an urban myth but this past week was so sunny, inside and out, that I believe it!

They say that love changes the way we see things – but I didn’t know you could catch it on film!
We went on a boat this week to see the sea lions in Puget Sound. The sunset over the Olympic Mountains and the sea lions were so amazing, I couldn’t pick just one picture.
All images are my own.

Sometimes it’s hard to find a matching pair of shoes in this house. When diving deep into the shoe basket, it’s best to use the buddy system. 🙂

Seattle with its head in the clouds.
In contrast, this is how Seattle looks when its head is clear. Coming back from Covid this past week, I could relate to both!

Going for a hike in the woods. The kids each brought a camera and were prepared to witness, take in and capture the magic we felt from our different perspectives.

Isn’t it amazing how spending time with the young gives us a dose of perspective? And a chance to consider what well-earned wisdom might be worth sharing. 😉

When I was writing the post on Silence for the Pointless Overthinking blog this week, I was reminded of an early morning six months ago when I was sitting on the porch of a cabin on Whidbey Island meditating and heard the sound of a whale exhale in the bay 150 yards or more away. In the calm of the morning quiet, that sound was so exhilarating and intimate. I hustled closer to get a better glimpse of the 3 whales in the bay and took this picture where you can see one tiny little Orca whale fin in the upper middle. But it was the ability to hear them in the quiet that was most gripping.
So I’ve chosen this picture of stillness and calm to post for this week to celebrate all the amazing things we can hear when we are quiet. And also because Seattle has been dark and rainy this week with no great views of much other than rainboots and umbrellas. 🙂

We went for a couple of nights to a cabin on an island about an hour and a half from home. Although our circumstances didn’t change much – we went from being snowed it at home to being snowed in on vacation, our perspective did. Being all together in a different house with different board games magically renewed our spirit of joy and delight.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year with a renewed spirit of joy and delight!
