Everything

As adults we still possess the ability to express our thoughts and feelings in childlike ways. It takes courage.

I’m not sure I can choose just one.

I remind myself that these things take time I wish I were more patient. I’m working on that, but I also realize that sometimes processes everything it’s what we learn along the way towards our goals towards our little quest we learn about ourselves we learn about others we learn what doesn’t work we learn what might work. Kind of like life don’t you think?

A gentle meditation

followers/following

I just wondered if there’s a way that’s a bit easier to determine if people are following us or not who we are following

A poem by Vivian Greene life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.

This is a wonderful little saying our poem. I enjoy it so much. It says so much and this is a wonderful little saying our poem. I enjoy it so much. It says so much in it’s simplicity it’s simplicity.

grief

I’m sorry I have been gone. I am back. My dog Buddy died on Saturday. I kissed his nose as he drifted off to sleep one last time. I also cracked a back molar and it got a dry socket. Painful, but nothing compared to the grief. I’ve wanted to return here so many times. Instead my arms were full of grief. When I finally put it down, my arms were free to hold this moment again and I knew returning would be healing. Thank you for being here. This is a place to share fun things, but as it’s a place for authenticity sometimes it’s a place to show life and sometimes life is messy and raw and uncomfortable and if I somehow filtered that I wouldn’t be telling the truth so here’s my truth.

The cannolis are out of this world!

This harbor city is one of the oldest. It feels like everyone knows your name. hint hint. can you guess?

Fear was part of growing up in my generation

quicksand, Bermuda triangle, swallowing gum, tainted Tylenol, glass and razor blades and Halloween candy getting locked inside a refrigerator, cramping up after swimming too soon after eating and drowning as a result, going blind because you’re sitting too close to the television, great white sharks, especially if they’re named jaws, killer, bees, swallowing a watermelon seed or any seed and having it grow inside catching on fire that’s why we learned how to stop dropping and roll, acid rain, getting struck by lightning, Bigfoot, pop, rocks and soda, Slee stacks, snakes, a stranger, with a chloroform, soaked drag, rabies, spontaneous combustion, forest fires, cooties, stepping on a crack ( not wanting to break our Mom back) getting blinded by the sun, skin cancer getting blinded by the sun, skin cancer, getting caught, going deaf by listening to music too loudly, going to hell, killer, bees, spiders, the metric system, flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz, hot lava, lockjaw, amnesia, tapeworms, acid, rain, being kidnapped, piranhas, the monster under the bed, bombs, downed powerlines, getting caught, getting grounded, sparklers…….

What’s a camping trip without a little dirt, or a lot of dirt.

I think I still have dirt from this trip in my camping bins.

A question about feet, specifically what do you wear on your feet?

I can’t wait to hear your responses. Maybe someone has an answer or suggestion of something to wear on my tootsies that I have yet to try. Also, leave an question if you like. I’m listening.💜

The Choice

this poem is titled the choice. I don’t know the author I perhaps it’s unknown if I ever find out, I will certainly give the author credit.

What do you think the most important quality in others is

I know there are many qualities that we appreciate in others but what would you say is the number one most important quality I’m curious to hear people’s answers. It’s extraordinary because it helps me to reflect and think about what it is that I value and how do I value it? How do I express that? How do I show others what I value in them interesting I hope you have a moment to respond. I eagerly await.

sometimes inconvenience teaches us gratitude

my brother’s diagnoses were very inconvenient as a child and into adulthood, but I think the blessings outweigh the inconvenient part

Difficulties

I’m still having difficulties hearing all of the different pose some of them I can listen to easily others. They just won’t play. Nothing happens when I hit the play button. I can transcripts though also, I’ve not been able to share to other platforms as yet I try, I do cut and paste , but I can’t share it directly through the app. I’ve also not been able to log onto the website version I’m not sure why I think that has more to do with the fact that instead of creating an individual password I use my Apple account and it works beautifully for my iPad and my iPhone, but it’s not working for the website version.
