Evenings

Evenings can be a wonderful time to reconnect with loved ones over dinner and share in gratitude for your day.

From the beginning of time, a richly colored twinge of dusk touching the eastern horizon, the lengthening of shadows, and the appearance of the evening’s first star have let us know that it was time to rest, relax, and retire from the pressures of the day. For human beings and other living things that tend to be most active in daylight, evenings can be less hectic and more relaxing, as we prepare for sleep and spend quality time with our loved ones. But evenings are about much more than dinner and the feel of a cool, soft pillow. Evenings are a wonderful time to catalog the events of the day without distraction, to revel in gentle solitude or silence, to end the day in serenity, and to commune with your inner self.

There are many ways to turn the evening into a nurturing and soul enriching experience. A simple stroll through the realms of dusk and darkness can show you two different worlds: one winding down and one just coming to life. In the evening, the sounds we humans make begin to diminish, and the sounds of earth’s more nocturnal creatures and nature itself become more apparent. As night slowly falls, scents change, and the smell of the soil and greenery become magnified. Sky gazing in the evenings can be a meditative activity – one that reminds us that we are only one part of an infinitely complex and vast universe. Each night, the different phases of the moon show us the passage of time and the waxing and waning of life, as its glowing visage – whether in the shape of a circle, crescent, or a smile –bathes the world in an ethereal, wistful glow.

As crickets chirp and night birds cry out, evening rituals and routines can make your day feel complete, help you unwind from the day’s busyness, and pave the way for rejuvenating sleep. Rituals and routines help you say goodnight to the present day, so you can look forward to the next one. While the sun sets, try doing a series of stretches, lighting some candles, or watching the daylight fade. The soothing, natural beauty of each evening can be your backdrop, as you meditate, quiet your soul, and relax into the peace and stillness that can be found at day’s end.

Cherie,

I love the fact the kids are having a great summer. Is the temps warm there? I mean when
our temps are high the humidity is dreadful. How are the fires? I feel bad for all the people
that have lost their homes and that grandfather who tried to make it to his wife and grandchildren
that just broke my heart. So sad.

Anyway Cherie I still have projects I am working on. Sometimes my project can be outdoors or
something I am getting done. 🙂 I did watch the Beekman Boys last night and yeah I brought
the TS and Face Wipes. I am loving the Goat oh Colleen was so much fun. I love the Boys. ♥
Cherie this is their house in Sharon Springs, New York. Wow I would love to hang out there for
a weekend and see the farm and animals. ♥

@loaf,

Here enjoy a cup of java and have a great day. ♥ Loaf you sound like a pro when it comes
to kids. I am glad nothing ruffles your feathers because I have done some ER with my kids.

Now that they are older I can relax and just enjoy them. Yeah I still worry about them too
that will never go away. I carried those kids for 9 months. ♥ I have been on many field trips
and school conferences. I tell you what takes makes my heart beat is when they walk across
that stage at College Graduation. But even little plays and recitals are just as heart warming.
I had four kids for a reason. ♥ Loaf I am glad we had them young.♥ We I talk about those
times I remember my MIL. ♥
