My blog category about quotations (or truths in any format) that ring true to me (and I hope to you, to us).

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 5/18/26
Marveling today!
Do you ever go on a walk for the sole purpose of “marveling”?
I do.
And I love doing so in Historic District Savannah where I live.
Sunday evening walk.
What I have learned is that I have to actively look for marvels, attend to them, or I simply walk right by.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 5/8/26
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Robert and summer flowers.
2. The ability to make plans.
3. Enjoying the yummy hotdogs at Atlanta’s iconic Varsity.
4. My new little thrown-together “side garden” in the alley beside our old place.
5. Robert’s incredible Chicken with Herb de Provence the other night.
It smelled great and tasted even better!
May you have a great-tasting weekend ahead.
Shhh … Silent Sunday 5/3/26
Weekend Flowers
Five Friday Happy Bringers 4/17/26
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. For some reason this hole in an old piece of wood at the top of a wire fence at a local farm made me smile a bit and think.
Sometimes it’s what’s NOT there that somehow wields its way to the center of attention.
2. Sticking to that line of thinking, one morning this week. I woke up, looked at our breakfast table and saw that Robert had cleaned up a bit a little flower arrangement that was moving past its prime.
It made me smile again, perhaps with a melancholic edge, appreciating the beauty that was, and in a way, still is.
That little morning moment also made me think of Frost’s oh-so-truthful poem, “Nothing Gold Can Stay.”
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Note to self: Enjoy it all while I still can.
3. Accidental photographs that somehow express a surprising hint of beauty.
4. Salt and pepper.
5. Robert and Benny.
May you have Plenty to Love this weekend.
One Word Wednesday 3/11/26
“Bloom!”
Our little window sill Christmas Cactus (also appropriately known as Easter Cactus) finally decided to TALK to us!
Five Friday Happy Bringers 3/6/26
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Making it through this morning’s part two (of a three-part procedure) to—hopefully/fingers crossed—help my chronic lower back pain.
The fun description: “CPT 64493 – Left – Facet Injection, Lumbar/Sacral, a shot of pain numbing substance in one level of the lower back using imaging guidance or detailed pictures to diagnose or treat lower back pain.”
I’m such a baby that even with local anesthesia, I’m sort of out of it for much of the day. But I’m back to the land of the living now, working on this post.
2. Several cool outdoorsy photos Robert took a little while ago, probably to get away from me and my “recovery.”
Is it Spring yet?
3. Our bodies, which I continue to believe/hope know how to be well and are always trying to move toward wellness.
4. Pausing to appreciate the view from above.
5. Proud of Daughter Amy being named by the Savannah area’s United Way as one of the Women Who Rule panelists.
And this sweet text I got from great buddy Jamie Marie during the event …
May you have a weekend of things that bring you healthy pride.
Shhh … Silent Sunday. 2/22/26
