My focus was "off" a bit today.....

but that hardly matters...
really.



perhaps my hands were shaking.....


too much "joe"....


perhaps, there was a chill in the air.....


naw.......hot flashes take care of that!


Actually, I think everything might have turned out just as it should.....

A dear friend sent this to me yesterday....


"She Let Go”
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear. She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely,
without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
 She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
 She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
 She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go. She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line. She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened. There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree,
she just let go.
There was no effort. There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
 A small smile came over her face.
 A light breeze blew through her.
 And the sun and the moon shone
 forevermore.

I am sorry I do not know the author, it was not me obviously...
smiles!

September.....Blessed.


No, I didn't get to go.....but someone did!


This is what passes for coffee in the afternoon, these days......too many Hot Flashes, otherwise.


These are the lovely roses that my sweetie blesses me with.....regularly.


THIS is the someone that enjoyed a trip to my favorite city on earth.....lucky dude!


I am equally blessed though, I managed to sneak in a trip to the beach last month...


HERE is where I sat my big fat butt, for days on end....


When it wasn't right next to this bag, on the sand....

Meet Freddie....


Do you see him?

Straddling the handle bar?

Trying to look all MACHO?

And non-chalant at the same time?

Yep, 
that's Freddie.
Contrary to popular opinion....

Freddie ain't dead....

(sorry for the 70's song reference, I couldn't help myself)

Well, anyway....I was minding my own bee's wax one day, 
visiting the local grocery, and there he was.....

bobbing his head up and down,

showing me that 

scarlet neck of his.....

strutting his stuff all over town.
(well actually all over the handle bar)

Letting me know he was AVAILABLE
and 
A CATCH of the FIRST order.....
(bobbing furiously)

I had to stifle my laughter,
didn't want to embarras him....no, 
I am sure that some sweet thing came over as soon as I left the 
scene.....

Soon, there will be little freddies all over the grocery parking lot!~
smiles...
