Sunny Morning

Springtime rhododendron. .

 

So excited that Spring is making an appearance if somewhat shaky.  We need to gear up for the whole season through September of happenings and visitors.  Lots of emails in from folks that will stop by to walk the trail at some point.  Then old friends will stop by unannounced, all good.

The winter blogging season seems to be coming to an end.  When the weather is bad and the days are dark it is easy to be absorbed in reading and writing.  Now I can feel the draw of things outdoors and being away from the keyboard.  Yup, but there is a lot of inspiration outside which makes it easier to get stories up.  Maybe it all evens out.

Speaking of blogs, Terry Hershey has a great blog called Sabbath Moments which I read every Monday when it comes out.  I had to email him yesterday because we seemed to be writing about the same stuff.  I was writing about the baseball pitcher who reinvented himself as he got older and he was writing about a woman who was a fabulous musician and had her viola stolen so she took up voice and kept going with her music not looking back.  We all seem to be inspired by stories of folks that shake off their disappointments and turn the old lemons into lemonade.  Maybe it is the springtime of reinvention?

Hey, have to go grocery shopping at Shawn’s Market.  He offers 10% off on groceries for folks over 65 every Tuesday.  We call it gray haired tuesday around here.  It’s fun and it probably means I eat 10% more broccoli than I used to so I think that is a plus.

OK, off to the market, reinvention loves, Felipe.

P.S. –  that means post script to all you readers without gray hair.  Anyway, I was going to continue with my quotes from my speech on unity.  Number one was from Pope Francis which we did several days ago,  So, number two is from Reverand Bonnie from Arizona: “This is AWESOME.  I also like to look up the dictionary definition, choose one and focus on a word or two.  That also is powerful.  Let me know how it turns out.  This is fabulous.”  So I did look unity up and came up with, “The state of being joined together or in agreement..”
