"The more room you give yourself to express your true thoughts and feelings, the more room there is for your wisdom to emerge."
~Marianne Williamson

(seems right in line with my theory of my need for some open space this summer...)

Anything one does every day is important and imposing and anywhere one lives is interesting and beautiful.

"Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on." 
~Eckhart Tolle

Happy birthday, Gran!

Today is Gran's 95th birthday.  95?!  I really cannot even wrap my head around that.  But I'm awfully thankful that we get to celebrate another birthday with her.  Her resilience amazes me.  Her desire to go to the beauty parlor so that she can look good for her 95th birthday (even though a week before she was headed to the hospital) humors me.  And the love that she extends to all of us overwhelms me.  Love you, Gran...hope it's the beginning of some wonderful days - full of comfort and peace and love, love, love...never-ending love.

With the passing away of Norah Ephron (last week), it seemed appropriate to quote her: "I'm very much a believer in knowing what it is that you love doing so that you can do a great deal of it."

Wise, wise words...thank you, Norah.
