It's been a very good week for me -- nothing special -- well, we've had lots of sunshine for a change and the new Trader Joe's that we've been waiting two years for finally opened today here in Ballard and while my neighbor and I aren't going shopping until Tuesday, it's still exciting! But it has been one of those weeks when you suddenly realize how incredibly you've been blessed in so many ways, when there's such a wonderful reawakening to the beauty in your life, the joy, the love, the laughter. In spite of the politics, the economy, and all the other negatives that sometimes cloud our vision, it's still a beautiful world.
These words were sent to me by a good friend and I thought I'd share them -- they're worth remembering.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly.......
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Thanks! I'll go dance with the vaccuum cleaner now. I have been prolonging the house cleaning because I just wasn't in to doing it. I keep finding myself at the computer as a distraction.
Here's to kicking up our heels!
I'm glad you're having a good week: congratulations on the Trader Joe's! and thank you for those wonderful inspiring words.
You always have wise words for us.
A Trader Joe's! Wish we had one near us.
"Attitude is everything" (along with "Cheer up") was my father's favorite saying. He attributed it to former Notre Dame football coach Ara Parseghian.
What I really like about your sky pictures is that I realized you spend a lot of time looking up.
Lovely, Sylvia! And I love Trader Joe's! Missed it so terribly when we were in India.
