Two Good Days

Beautiful storm
Crazy thundering
More sky falling
Calming, quieting spirits-
young and old
Feeling the water wash away the extra stuff on our souls
Children's choices to be kind and considerate of others
Beautiful, understanding, patient friends
Friends who spend time with me
Friends who hang out on the phone with me
Merlot friend
Two large baskets of amazing strawberries-
for the price of one!
One brand new life,
With one beautiful, beautiful name,
and two amazing, loving people to
take care of her as she grows.

Two good days.
Two beautiful days.
Water pools that reflect our Maker.

Misery

It's surprising how it loves company.

Yesterday was maybe the worst day of the year for me. It was full of challenges that I did not see coming. Pangaea broke-up all over again and I didn't like it.

I found out just a little bit ago how terrible of a day it was for almost everybody else in my building. I think I was comforted and relieved by the news of our common experience. I don't want others to have bad days at all, but a shared experience - whether delightful or distressful - draws me closer to others AND it gives me a wider perspective. Open eyes. I get freed from the heaviness of hard times when I know that I was not alone and that others understand what happened.

It rained late last night. I did not see it coming. Suddenly, I heard the strong winds violently shake the trees. The water fell down hard onto the surfaces of everything.

Magic Is

Opening an old shoe box
finding letters written to me from dear friends 16 years ago
feeling totally loved and wanted
even though so much time and space has divided us.

Last Night, I Fell In Love

It happened while I was sleeping.

The Bugaloos
The Bugaloos
We're in the air and everywhere
Flyin' high
Flyin' loose
Flyin' free as a summer breeze
The Bugaloos
The Bugaloos
We're climbing high and diving low
Through the sky
Across the land
Straight to you with a helping hand
Ready with a helping hand
(Kazoo solo!!!)
We are friends indeed
Should you need
If you ever need
The Bugaloos
The Bugaloos
We're in the air and everywhere!!!
Flyin' high
Flyin' loose
Flyin' free like we all could be
I.Q.: Don't forget
Courage: To write
Harmony: We love to hear
Joy: From you
The Bugaloos
The Bugaloos
Climbin' high and flying free...

Easter Weekend Snowfall in Central Texas!

The snowflakes are so HUGE! They are as big as the magical ones I saw in Colorado 15 years ago. The snow on the ground is a huge and deep rolly blanket (way more than what you see in the picture of G. Bush's ranch above). I cannot believe my eyes. So crazy beautiful!!! The only not-good thing about it is that I am worried about this hummingbird that flew up to our house windows at the beginning of the snowfall. It kept looking in as if it needed a warmer place. :( I hope the little green flying machine has found a good shelter.
