visualization pt 3 -family1

I open the door to my backyard, and look out at the landscape. The pool is sparkling in the sun and the grass and bushes look lush and green. There is a swing hanging from the old maple tree to the left of the pool. In front of the pool and to the right there is a fire pit with the circular booth seating just beyond the retractable awning of the back porch. There's a bbq pit sitting there too. You can still smell the smoky smell of recent barbecues past, also a sweet reminder of what paid for the house. I look past all this to find a winding stone path. At the end of the path, is a studio with a little porch of its own and beautiful vases both clear and colored, some filled with pretty marbles that reflect the light, and others filled with flowers. The door opens and a little grey haired woman in work out pants and a big t-shirt peaks out holding a steaming cup of coffee, directing a smile and a gesture towards the coffee. I show her my coffee mug and she at me waves "c'mere" so I go and sit with her on her kitchen bar stools, in her cozy cottage nestled in our beautiful backyard garden paradise.

We laugh and drink coffee and everything is so easy. So easy. I feel such ease and effortlessness. It feels good. We don't talk about anything particularly important.

After we finish our coffees, I look at my watch and decide it's time to get some things done.
