marybogdan – Happy Happy! to be me. I am beautiful. I am human. I am worthy. The sacred inner spirit is strong in me as in all of us, if we just go into the silence and listen to it. Find it... Allow it to resurface... This is why I am happy happy!

chelawriter – I thought retirement would give me more time to write, but as with may others, my experience of retirement so far is that it is far busier than my employment years. Two wild fires with evacuations and extensive damage to my home have not helped. Repairs are almost complete, and fingers crossed things will settle down so I can post more often.

Sweet reminder of my long dead father’s love of making abstracts by taking close-up pictures of tree bark. He would appreciate this one as much as I do.
