As we grow old, we realize that life isn’t about how fast we ran or high we climbed – it’s about the love we gave, the kindness we shared, and the moments that made our journey meaningful.

You know what they say about not judging a book by its cover…

Well, the same goes for friends.
We are like books. Most people only see our cover. The minority read only the introduction. Many people believe the critics. Few will know our content.

Other times, it is better to have them planned out…
This morning, I was walking down the street and I was hit by a violin, then a clarinet, and then a French horn. I think it was an orchestrated attack.

Hello mindful Monday. Start your week with intention, not tension. Have a clear mind, focused heart, and determined spirit. You have the strength within to conquer anything that comes your way. Believe in yourself and make today count. Small steps lead to big accomplishments.

The picture says: my husband asked me why I whisper in the house. I said I was afraid Google was listening. He laughed. I laughed. Alexa laughed. Siri laughed. The refrigerator laughed.
