I was recently chatting with a dear old friend who shared she has been looking more into the biblical practices of Shepherding & the revelations that she had learnt.

Which triggered sweet memories of my time shepherding sheep with my late husband on our farm out West. So I thought I would share some of these with you today as we sip our cuppas together.

Today, I’m enjoying a home grown & home made Lemon Grass tea with a gf Shortbread choc dipped swirl.

It’s getting a lot cooler here on the east coast of Australia but today is a lovely sunny day so we’ll sit in the sun while we enjoy our time together.

Sweet Memories

I thought my friend’s chat was interesting in it’s timing as I’d noticed in the last week that I’ve been a litte more pensive than usual & realised its that time of the year again! When Ed was diagnosed with Brain Cancer & urgently Air evacuated to the big city hospital for brain surgery.

My subconscious had enacted the trauma marker before my conscious memory caught up. This is a phenomenon of the subconscious when we experience life changing traumatic events. Our subconscious keeps a memory of that sudden grief & each year when that time comes around again, you’ll notice an impact on your emotions before your conscious memory takes note.

You see it may not necessarily be around the anniversary of a loved one’s death that this phenomena happens but rather around the time the trauma that lead to their death took place, for me it’s the end of April into May. As the anniversary of Ed’s passing is in August. I shared my experience of this phenomenon in Why do I feel this way?

However, even when pensive there are sweet, sweet memories to share;

Memoirs of a Shepherdess

I hope you enjoyed the above adventure.

It’s been a big few weeks for us, so I’ll leave you with the following scripture:
