This has been one of those weeks that I would rather soon forget. I lost a loved family member, and another lost their job. And so life goes twinkling and spinning on. I suppose things like this have always gone on at one time or another in my life; it’s just that it seems so much more common — and real — now that I’m older. As you get older you get less chances to make amends, to find new jobs, to see the world. It’s not that you’ve been bad or good, if you’ve tithed at church or stolen from the Salvation Army bucket. Life is going to tumble on however it will, and you just have to go along for the ride.
I had hoped not to make this blog the recipient of my shadows and blue thoughts. No one can be happy all the time; no one can be sad all the time, either. So to keep my perspective and keep looking towards the horizon, I do what I love. Write. Or, as in this case, share a couple of pictures I’ve kept from my wanderings on the Net. One of my favorite blogs is lead.learn.live. http://davidkanigan.com/ The reason I smile at this blog is because often he just posts pictures. Pictures that are sweet or sentimental or mystifying or just plain neat. And that is what I need this eve. So for your pleasure — and mine — have a peek at the unusual.
Love you guys.
I Know you will, Claudia. It isn’t very easy sometimes, but it’s what women like you and me do. Love you.

I hate that it’s been such a bummer week for you. Over at our house the fog is beginning to lift, and in spite of turning 65, omg!, on Friday, I’m starting to feel like myself again.
