Hello everyone. I hope all is well with you. I’m back today with another Slice of Life Post. I had an awesome weekend and I’m in a very positive frame of mind. I thought of something to make my last WIP stronger and I also worked out a plot issue with my current WIP. That’s always a good feeling, isn’t it?
The weather was fantastic this weekend and hubby is working hard on our basement. It’s shaping up very nicely and we’re getting excited about the prospect of having a place to go during the hot weather. There’s definitely a temperature change when we go downstairs!
I went for a walk on Saturday and Sunday. Nothing clears the mind like walking in nature. I solve plot issues that way and release tension. In fact, studies show walking in nature is a great way to deal with depression

As I strolled down the road, enjoying the sun on my back a fawn stood to the side watching me. He must’ve seen me before I spotted him. He was calm as I approached, he wasn’t scared at all. In fact, he didn’t bound away until I was about five feet away. I reached out my hand to see if he’d come closer, but he didn’t. That’s the closest I’ve been to a fawn out in the wild.

I’ve heard this is a sign from a loved one that has passed. Whenever something like this happens, I want to believe it’s a message from my dad. I miss him a great deal, and it gives me comfort when I have a moment like this.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if it were true? I love the idea that there are relatives on the other side, watching out for me.
How about you? Do you have any moments you’d like to share? Leave a comment, I’d love to hear from you.

After my dad passed away last summer, my twin sister saw rabbits everywhere. She was convinced it was a sign from my dad.
I think she’s right, Adrienne! Thanks for stopping by.
After my wife sole her parents’ house she found a penny heads up. Convinced it was a sign from her dad that she did the right thing. So many things like this happen that I find it hard to believe that they are not signs from those who are watching over us.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your memory with us. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who believes this. 🙂
Love your post. I think that remembering loved ones is a sign in itself. A song, a scent, a view…when the memories come, our loved ones are with us once more, if only for a little while.
Thanks for stopping by! I agree with you. It’s very comforting to believe this, isn’t it?
Signs don’t necessarily show when you are looking for them, but they appear when you least expect them. I’d like to believe that the ones who have left are watching over us.
That’s a good point, Terje. I appreciate you stopping by and sharing your thoughts.
I too smalways looking and believing in signs from loved ones. It is very comforting.
Yes, it is Bernadette. Thanks for stopping by!
The morning my brother passed away last year, a humming bird swooped in our gazebo and hover for a few seconds, then left. Before he passed, we watched a mother hummingbird in her nest for over a month. It was a wonderful sign. Cheers, Lisa!
Thanks for stopping by, Sharon. I am so sorry for your loss. A humming bird is an awesome sign! Hugs!
Lisa, here are the photos that I asked you to share. They may not be yours but they convey your message beautifully. I am sitting in my garden now thinking of my mother who loved when we ate outside in the quiet surroundings.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts and photos with us. I appreciate it! 🙂
I love walking through the “unmapped” woods around our house – going off the trails and walking through the “open” woods. 🙂 Sounds like a nice experience! 🙂
Yes! It’s a good habit to start when you’re young, Erik!
