4. Irreverence
5. A really good out if I want one

5. A happy meeting with long time clients, those who express joy in talking

6. Looking forward to baking a cake for a party.  I find it relaxing and joyful

8. Thankful for the gift of this day. Blessings to you.

Happy to be stuck with you

If you can’t say anything nice,don’t say anything at all. This will be a short list. Just kidding!

My hubby and I have traveled a road that is over forty years long. That’s many days and nights together.

The road has included ups and downs. There have been rocky parts, construction,hills,twists,turns and smooth sailing. We have gotten lost at times. We have traveled in silence, chatter or just the facts ‘maam.

He always worries about my daughter and I. He is the go to person when tires need air.

He starts the coffee every morning. When he isn’t feeling well, how I miss this!

Our grandson adores him. He loves his grandchildren.

He and my daughter’s dog are never more than a few feet apart, If he was the man the dog thinks he is ,this list wouldn’t be so hard. Perhaps to the dog he is perfect.

He is  active at the Church and idolized by the “mature” women.He is the pumpkin king at Church. In his orange sweatshirt he resembles a pumpkin.

I enjoy evenings with him. I just wish he wouldn’t eat my snacks.

I remember at our daughter’s wedding having a dance for us with the song “Happy to be stuck with you!” and I am!

Gentleness is it

  • A gentle calm inner Wow
  • My favourit neighbor is even more  my favourit – after the rather, for me, challenging  discussion we had yesterday.
  • “Things that make you go :]” on facebook
  • Thank you April for early spring this year.
  • Blue sky Sun Birdsong Ocean in millions of Facets the Brook on our yard clear wild and free of ice and snow
  • All the kind people that i meet nowadays
  • Kindness
  • Warmth

1. God
2. Only took so many decades to admit what I don’t know
3. So I ask David, after he makes a pun on Hessians, what are Hessians, and he tells me.
4. Then there are things I don’t know I don’t know
5. Which leads me to think of one of my favorite models, the Johari window
6. And the window on the world
7. And an invitation to greet oneself (and others)
8. Getting the news from poetry

So Grateful!

— weird Spring weather, wearing a hoodie this morning, very comfortable – this afternoon I was too warm – then to a grandson’s baseball game and freezing — coat, blanket, hood up!

— always glad to find gas at a good price

— full body massage — oh me!  oh my!

— grandson’s team playing really well and winning in a “mercy”

— chicken dinner with husband, daughter, and Carol #1 (I am Carol #2)

— getting my new phone hooked up in my car all by myself!  hooray!

— the trees and bushes are misty green, many are bursting forth with gorgeous flowers — thank heavens for Spring!

— Baltimore is still having trouble, but they also have been turning things around in miraculous ways — Pastors, politicians, parents, and others are being such positive influences in these turbulent times
