I really enjoy the smell of the Earth after it as rained!

I complimented the grocery store manager on how much nicer and cleaner there store was than the one I normally frequent.

need to feel nice for a few moments...so will think about nicer moments driving with (S) and stopping at cozy little spot we found for lunch...life is made for remembering sweet funny moments frozen in time..

the dogs have found comfort using me as a pillow...and I'm ok with that

I saw an ad for a talk on Mindfulness so decided to attend. Turned out it was someone making a presentation at a Toastmasters Club meeting and was just the part of the evening where people have a chance to make a presentation and learn/practise that skill. Though I've no real interested in the Toastmasters program, I have to say I have never been in a more supportive, positive environment...analysis and critiques by all attendees but ALWAYS with the positive purpose of helping the speaker improve their skills...great way to spend an evening, everyone feeling they benefitted... now if only I wanted to become a public speaker lol

I think you would make a fine speaker..you are concise, knowledgable, unafraid and charismatic...yes! better then fine!

these aren't your steel toed boots but just as scary!!
 

I have to admit going to KILLER HEELS ...The Art of The High Heeled Shoe showing in Pittsburgh Pa this past Sunday ( August 7th ) at the Frick Art & Historical Center was quiet enjoyable, and it was not just because of the company I was in, it was actually the high heeled shoes and the history along with some rather strange short video clips.......amazing designs, not only classy, but provoking, stylish, ancient, beautiful, nasty, sexual and dangerous and powerful. Of course seeing some that were worn by the likes of Lady Gaga and others were quite interesting also. I am sincerely glad that I went.

What a story I could tell if I were a pebble
taken from sediment and sent on this journey...

How long it took me to travel from place a to b....
What have I become ?
A rock on the beach ?
Part of a rock wall ?
part of the soothing blanket of beach sand ...
made up by my smaller cousins....
Or maybe just a paperweight...
because someone took me home and treasured me ?

Thank you kittygrrl. I'd have responded earlier but I couldn't get my head through the door.

For all of America's faults and lord knows she has plenty; at least I will not be *stoned to death for being a lesbian (Somalia) or put in a *state-run, mandatory Ex-Gay program (Uganda) to rehabilitate me in order to live a "normal", i.e., straight life.

I am very grateful for that.

I may not have much..but, I have a cool dry place to lay my head and food on my plate...and for that I am grateful. It's more than some folks

Well I woke up and I'm having my coffee....... I have pretty much all I need.:hangloose::hangloose::hangloose:

not all that is gold does not glitter ...
not all those who wander are lost...
the old that is strong does not whither..
deep roots are not reached by the frost...
