Very moving, ParisPaulette. Thank you. You and your mother are in my thoughts. (...and mine, diminished by a stroke, going blind, so stubborn......oh, the tug of war...)

Art and creativity shared on the internet. Such an abundance, so much inspiration!

hot shower, great water pressure, paying my bills, doing just fine, happiness, sunshine and refreshing breezes.

Flow. Serendipity. Discovery. That nifty thing I had my eye on, the maybe someday thing, $25 new, is now part of my life thanks to the 25 cent discovery. Whoever decided it wasn't for them, thank you for donating it (in good condition) to my favorite resell shop. Feeling blessed.

my feet, my hands, the sense of smell, crisp nights and clear days, full moonrise over the pond at dusk: priceless.

having the whole lake to myself to swim in the morning sun. Absolutely lovely.

Joan Rivers' book about getting over the loss of a loved one. It's filled with tips, humor, and compassion, and I appreciated it when I needed it most. RIP Joan Rivers, thank you for the laughter.

Feeling better, getting things done, enjoying this day, looking forward to visiting with friends later today, my kids, their SOs

So nice....

These heartwarming posts! (Aw, faraday, your daughter tugs at my heartstrings!!) Classic summer days. And nights.
