Every evening I have to haul watering cans full of water out to my little alley garden to keep everything alive in our Texas heat. And every evening I watch the butterflies, hummingbird moths, and bees flit around the butterfly bush and marigolds. That and my once/week time in Palo Duro Canyon to hike (or saunter) the trails early in the morning, watch the changing light, listen to the birds and the little river, and jump out of the way of all the mountain bikers (who are so much more energetic than I am), is what keeps me alive most of the time. That and virtual visits with our kids and grandkids!

My new shoes and personal trainer are saving my life right now - both are helping me recover from COVID shutdown balance problems. We're starting to work on walking on grass and uneven, unpaved surfaces. Baby steps...

My husband and I just finished reading the book aloud together yesterday. It has been a daily source of joy, grace and perspective each day! We are grateful! I’ve also recommended and given the book to many. The Light gets on for us!

Waiting, listening and solitude: after a minor accident, my fault, while traveling, I returned home. As I wait for car repairs to begin, I look at all the facets of my life: financial, health and belonging. Gratitude for connections and relationships.
