What I've learned about myself...

In spite of several craptasitic days in a row...
and unrelenting heat...(where is fall????)
a crumbling tooth...
headaches, new meds and a new personal best in the category of whining...
trying to learn to do without sugar AND salt...and...and...and...and...and...
I have learned several things about myself...
ready for a list?
I still adore my family and friends...and

still believe that I can make a difference...
I continue to be charmed by children...

I know that forgiveness is too hard sometimes but necessary for growth...

I get to see miracles if I am paying attention...

still delight in the beginnings and endings of days...


and can hope for hope to return...
I am grateful you all stop by and check on me!

What have you learned about yourself?

And did you know that not only did Leonard Cohen release a new CD on September 14, but Eric Clapton has one coming out on September 28 AND Leon Russell and Elton John have a CD coming out October 14 called..."Union" can't wait!

A Day at the Botanical Park


Shiny shoes and sparkly dresses

Snarky adolescent boys taunting small siblings


Tattooed grandparents with a frilly baby girl


Families of hats


Aging plants weary of summer


Gentle breezes mitigating harsh heat


Blue haired boys holding hands


The sound of cowboy boots and high heels on sidewalks


Not a cloud in the sky


Bliss
