Halloween Poem
Black cats cross the street
Black bats fly across the street
White ghost scare the people
Striped candy corn gets eaten
People wear famous costumes
Happy jack-o-lanterns watch as they smile.
Happy Halloween

I’m so grateful for laughter …
Lillian wanted me to figure out “the code” she had just shared with me. I had no idea what she had said. After a few minutes I finally got that she was saying “What is the first word” ..
So, I said “What is the first word”. We went round and round saying that to each other with her frustration mounting. After some release laughter on my part and some scalding by Lillian that I could not hear, we finally got it clear (somewhat). She was saying What is the first word but she also wanted me to guess what the first word of the code was …
I thought she was telling me that “What” was the first word .. And it was … Clear as mud, right? Reminded me of that whole “Who’s on first base?” scene. Hot diggity dog, I’m gosh darn grateful for laughter …

As we left the pool yesterday afternoon Lillian said, “I’m so glad we did that. It was so refreshing.”
Thomas had gone ahead of us by a few minutes. When I walked in the door, he exclaimed, “Whew! I’m so glad we did that. It was so refreshing!” …
I felt the same exact way! It was completely quiet and still when we got to the pool. We swam and just enjoyed the quiet and the feel of the water on our bodies. I can think of no words right now to describe the blissful feeling of being in the water.
So extremely blessed with and grateful for this Team TLC.

Thomas says to me, “You look so young for your age” ..
I tell him excitedly, “Thank you Thomas so much”.
He asked me why I was thanking him and I told him that was a compliment. He said he didn’t know that …. He just wanted to tell me just because. Pure innocence and honesty … LOVE!

Just thought I’d share with y’all what I’ll be up to for the next 30 days … Happy Tuesday .. It’s a GREAT day to be alive!
30 Day Journey of Life: Giving
“Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.” -Mother Teresa
And so it is … I accept and realize that to become enlightened and enrich my own life I must stop searching, trying so hard, and waiting for some “thing” to happen. I must be that which I seek. I am embarking on a Journey of Life on this very day. For at least the next year, I plan to dedicate myself to a different 30 Day Journey of Life at the beginning of every new 30 days.
The first 30 Day Journey of Life begins today …. GIVING. I will give of myself like ….

Just published the next blog post about living in our tiny place … “This update is all about improvising and using what I already have on hand. I love being able to use whatever I’ve got and creating exactly what I want, exactly when I want it. FUN!” This one covers removing closet doors, creating screen doors, creating walls, and meeting some new little furry friends. Hope y’all enjoy it! xoxo
