A day of being pulled in too many directions with not enough sleep to fully grasp any of them in any sort of meaningful way. But at the end of the day, my neighbors and friends invited me to the bayou (newly mowed by one) to sit and have a glass of wine and appreciate the beautiful breeze. My my my, we are some lucky people.
Yesterday, after back to back phone calls, I dashed out to pilates, on the way back the bank called while I was in the car and said someone had my credit card number and was charging to religious sites, I had a late conference call and ran home, had two neighbors that I had to sidestep because of the call, and then the call lasted lots longer than I had planned, so got the animals…
My friend’s daughter is dying of brain tumor among other complications. She’s two years old and she’s a doll. Last night, I had the privilege of spending the night with her at the hospital again and as I lay beside her listening to her grind her teeth down to the bone while struggling to stay alive – I thought anybody who complains about their life needs to walk a day in my friends’ shoes –…
I was thinking about the title to this book that I just finished by Thomas Wolfe and how I like the title a lot and how it almost reminds me of a few things in my life recently. I came home to New Orleans to reunite with old friends, family and my beloved city and instead I found the mutual attraction that had brought me close to those old friends had long since passed, my…
Someone was incessantly ringing my doorbell yesterday while I was trying to work and I called from the terrace – “Who is it?” and someone answered, “George!” and so I thought it was the guy who originally did my landscaping and said, Ok, be down in a minute. But it was M – that old chestnut – the prodigal son returns, no wiser I might add. We chatted on the porch a little bit and…
Lessons learned at this point – good news always is tempered with not so good news – a lover returns after an odyssey that brings her full circle back to me, her #1, meanwhile, a child struggles for her life for reasons that are beyond any that I could or would imagine; my credit card number is stolen and some fool is out there charging away to a host of sites, of all places spirit…
Boston offers this up: when you are in sync you don’t have to think about what others say when you are in sync you don’t have to think just take it day by day! I think Doris Day should sing that!
You know how they say everyone loves a lover – they don’t mean it – at least that’s not my experience – most people like to cast a wary eye on young love and tell you everything that could possibly go wrong – or that you are moving too fast (these would be the same people who urged you to carpe diem if real love came around) – sigh, what’s a lover to do?
The phrase, when you are in alignment, doesn’t actually make for a great song lyric – when you are in alignment, everything just feels so ____ – nothing rhymes with alignment if you think about it. But boy when you are in alignment with the universe doesn’t everything just feel right? I mean your work is going well, your relationship is top of the charts, you feel good, and despite some flaws you can say…
I was walking quickly through the park this morning, it was drizzling after the hard rain I woke to and thinking about how 24 hours out of commission can set you back on your to do list. This was provoked by a bout of food poisoning – gives you an appreciation for health that you take for granted nearly every day that you have it. I thought how 24 hours passed, the to do list…
