I went to see les miserables today and WOW. Such a good film. I was blown away by the talent of the actors, the excellence of the directing, and the relevance of the story to contemporary life. I was emotionally moved and entertained, something that not to many films are able to accomplish so well. 4 months ago

I have a cold and am feeling mad respect for my kick ass immune system. Do I feel crappy? Yes I do. HOWEVER…it’s my immune system doing it’s job that is causing most of my icky-sicky feelings so instead of feeling bad about it I am having some gratitude for it. My immune system is going to war and this cold virus doesn’t stand a change. Thank you immune system! 4 months ago

Most days of my life I never think about what this amazing force does for me, other animals, and the earth in general. It’s our clock, our center, the literal ebb and wane on the tidal flats that is the backbone of my local ecology. 4 months ago

1. My husband and the gentle way he challenges habits that undermine living the good life.

2. J & K: they are dear people and such good supportive friends to my sister and lovingly extend that support to me.

3. Pam: for the compassionate loving kindness she has shown me, for her belief in me and my abilities, and for her practical nuts and bolts outlook.

4. My body. Even when I don’t take very good care of it it continues to give to me.

5. My home. I treasure having a place to shelter me that is cozy, welcoming, and stable. 2 years ago
