Here’s to your plans whatever letter they might be!

Here I go on today’s ride! Whee!

So grateful for such a great day!

Breakfast with Tom at Akron Family Restaurant.

Met Mary Ellen and Tim to see Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny – action packed with lots of Harrison Ford and I like Harrison Ford.

Fixed up the fairy rock garden beside the patio – so much fun! It will be great when the neighborhood kids find it.

Pad Thai for dinner.

Tom fixed strawberries for after dinner.

Did my Haiku poem. Mary Ellen and I have exchanged Haiku poems every day for over a year!

Purpose

A day with purpose
is the best kind for me! Yes!
Fun and intentional wins.

My friend Carol stated I have everything I need and I was amazed!

Pause! Ponder! Praise!

Thinking about need vs want. Needs met. Lucky ME!

Grateful for this day. The opportunity to be with ones I love doing what I want.

House is dirty but I have a house.

Rain predicted but the flowers are thirsty. Right now sun is shining!

Hope you have a grateful day!
