I get the concept and have elements. Should be interesting.

Finished the Fool 1 week ago

I had lots of fun contemplating how the fool is often a character in movies and media. Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz even had her dog. Marilyn Monroe, Amy Whitehouse maybe, Britainy Spears somewhat. My favorite was Paris Hilton doing that reality show with Nichole Richie, who assumed the faithful companion role.
I think we might have a big life journey that leads us through the aracna but we also have multiple trips to perfect and prepare us for what lies ahead.

Been a while 1 week ago

1. A little kid that gently urged me to slow down and play. I have practiced blowing gigantic bubbles in one of the exhibits so I’m pretty successful with it. The bubbles are about 30” in diameter mostly. He is 2yrs old and just huge so people think he’s older. He is still a toddler but the folks that care for him have done such a great job that he shares and is really kind as well as goofy. He’s my favorite.

2. A sweet little girl with her doll named”Walter” after the dog in the book “Walter the Farting Dog”.

3. A moment of inner strength and integrity that helped me be honest instead of being a doormat.

4. My daughters help with my sore knee.

5. My grandsons and their good hearts. Granddaughter too.
