Why, during the most fabulous weather that we have had in forever and may not have for very long am I stuck inside sick?
I am a good laugher. I can laugh at many things that are really not that funny. My butt has gone numb ... Problematic? Possibly ... but really funny no? And maybe a benefit for dragon-boating (you all recall last year's monstrous derriere "wound").
I can laugh at the fact that every electronic appliance I own has pretty much has decided it does not want to work anymore. I have even had a comical speculation that all the radiation inside of me is somehow shortcircuting stuff. And yes I do live in a brand spanking new condo with all new appliances.
I can laugh. I really can.
But I can not seem to bring myself to see the humor in missing the kind of sunshine that makes you forget that life is anything but full of spectacular love and beauty. This is our time folks. This is the time where we live outdoors, soaking up as much warmth and green, and pretty smelly things as we can. This is when we start to build our reserves. What if I am unable to get my little tank of summer love filled right up? What will happen to me next January? This is not good. No not good at all.

Perfect moment.
I stopped at Kirst's house after swimming last night. The night air was the perfect temperature, no bugs yet, the stars where basking in the warmth ... Kirst was watching the end of a show I did not want to see so I grabbed the little man and went out and sat on the front porch. The sprinkler was tickling the sidewalk and my toes and my little joy melted into my lap. He was wearing his little green sleeper that says sweetpea ; ) and I could just feel the complete weight of his relaxation. The two of us watched the sprinkler go back and forward and we talked about his day. Every now and then he would tilt his head back and look at me ... melting my heart into a million pieces and then back to the sprinkler. It is amazing how such a simple moment refreshed my spirit. Kirst came out after her show and we walked around the block putting our imaginations to good use speculating about the lives that go on in all of those homes. Jamison, although he tried to stay with us, was fast asleep in mamma's arms by the time we made it back. Hmmmmm ....

- I am doing my best to find the good things in my life and cherish them. I love deeply. I laugh hard (so hard I sometimes snort). I still dream and believe that dreams are meant to be followed. I try to depend on God. I have so much to learn. I hope.

You make me smile just looking at you. I was so happy to see your head still attached. You do need something to put those cute little hats on. Do you have Dragon Boat Bum today? I hurt in places I didn't know I had. It was so beautiful on the water last night. Before everyone got there last night I was standing looking out over the water and realized how much I missed meeting with everyone each week.
What's with your applicance. I thought it was only me that happened to. It may be your magnetic personality.....
Just unplug them all and show them who is boss.
See you Saturday.
Sending lots of love and HUGS,HUGS and more HUGS.

I'll tell you where you'll be in January--just getting back from a tropical vacation that involves stealing snacks from empty conference rooms, running down hotel hallways while laughing loudly, of course basking in the rejuvenating sun, and regaling handsome admirers with your wit and beauty! Sheesh!
