About Lindy Le Coq

January, 2016 ~ Since retiring three years ago, I have consciously focused on being “a human being rather than a human doing.” It is my bedrock — the understructure of how I make decisions on a daily basis, and a filter through which I determine what is important to me.

Recently, I decided to think through and list “what is important to me — now.” Five answers emerged, and, just as the fresh growth in my spring gardens, they affirm who I am. *** 🍀 Health in the four quadrants: emotional, mental, physical, spiritual. 🌈 Make a solid plan for my aging self. (I plan to live to be at least eighty, and perhaps longer — spirits of the universe willing, of course.) ☀️ Embrace each day from the moment I awaken. Have fun. Be me, here and now. 🐝 Be dependable, helpful, and caring. 🌷 Cultivate angels.

I express myself through my favorite artistic adventures: writing, photography, color-pencil drawing, and landscape gardening. My every-day joys include reading, cooking, walking or exploring with my beagle, and enjoying a warm fire, or quiet time by the pond, with Creighton. We met when I was eighteen and he remains the one love-of-my-life, forty-nine years on.

Playing outside has always been more attractive to me than playing inside. I love to listen, smell, feel, and see what mother earth is up to in the moment. However, in the rainy and cold seasons, I put my energies into writing and drawing. During these first years of retirement, I have finished two of three short stories with original color pencil drawings, Studebaker and Sputnik, and I only have drawings to finish the third, Peach Pie Summer.Once it is complete I will focus on the next stories; Into the Palouse.

Thank you to all who read and check out my blog. It is a joy to share my bits of wonder with others who appreciate.

“The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.” ~Galileo Galilei

I am grateful to have the rest of my life to be me here and now.
