I went downtown to do some shopping and the Plaza looked so peaceful this morning. I love that tree, and the fountains in the pond. 🧡

Enjoying the trees' last curtain calls as we prepare to say good-bye to their annual presentation of beauty beyond measure. ❤️

I agree with Rand Paul? What's the world coming to?
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Few Americans remember that, before the ACA, aka Obamacare, we were denied health insurance due to pre-existing conditions. We applied, but were denied for any condition we ever had, including headaches or asthma. It was only Obamacare that did away with that.

Did you know this? It was written in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was meant as a call for worldwide prayer for peace, resonating deeply due to the very real threat of nuclear war at the time.

Good morning! A favorite quote:

“Stars give the illusion of permanence, but they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. So I pretend. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust.
But I can pretend.” -Neil Gaiman*

This is a heart-shaped mud puddle that appears on the side of one of our streets in town every single year after the first rainfall. If you ever wonder what I mean when I say that beauty is everywhere, waiting for us to notice, this is one example. 🥰
