Hats Off Please
Watching this video sent to me by my daughter made me sit in awe of the human spirit. When someone who has gone through so much adversity can come through with this much beauty emanating from his soul, it's truly a lovely thing. I was inspired not only to count the blessings of a roof over my head and plenty of food to eat, but to appreciate the opportunities we are given each day to live to our fullest capabilities. Those opportunities are lovely, indeed, and I for one appreciate each and every one.Please click the link to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ46Ot4_lLo&feature=related

Extremes
I didn't expect much from today. It's my day of rest, you see. I feel that I did rest, indeed, but two things happened that I found quite extreme. Watching "Sweeney Todd" with my husband was a truly unlovely experience. However, reading a book my friend, Naty Matos, wrote was quite uplifting and a lovely way to make something nice come from a day of resting. You may enjoy reading it, too. It's entitled Growth Lessons. Have a lovely evening, friends.

A Little Solitude
Since I can't go outside because of the cedar pollen, my husband is
treating two of our children and our son's fiance to sushi tonight. It's not my favorite, but
it is theirs, so this will be a good thing. And the solitude will be
quite lovely. I may choose to play my piano. Or, I may simply use the
time I would normally spend preparing dinner for my husband and I to
read "Endless Night" by Agatha Christie. Whatever I choose, it will be
lovely to spend a quiet evening at home. What will you be doing this evening?

If Bears Can....
This Tuesday has brought a new awareness to my life. Since I suffer from Cedar Fever here in Austin for at least six weeks every year, I have made the lovely decision to hibernate. Yes, I'm going to hibernate, just like bears do. I'll stay indoors and avoid the Cedar pollen. I'll write and my husband can go to the store when we run out of food. It's going to be lovely to not suffer with itchy eyes and throat. My eyes won't water and itch either. And I'll not pass out from taking antihistamines, unable to function. Think about it. If bears can figure out how to avoid disaster, then so can I. Lovely!

Am I Dreaming?
My son cooks a prime rib dinner just for our family, and afterward, his lovely wife insists my husband and I sit and relax while she prepares to serve us delicious Korean coffee with milk and sugar and then starts a load of dishes. It's so lovely when someone serves you a meal and then refuses to let you help clean up, don't you think? One never knows what will happen when you sow seeds of service to others. I read my affirmations every day to do just that. I feel the same way about flying. The main reason I love it is because the flight attendant asks what I'd like to drink and offers me an assortment of snacks. Serving others is a lovely thing to do. Today, my son and his wife serving us was like a lovely dream. Only it really happened. Pleasant dreams, everyone.
