Sitar

What a way to end the evening. Listening to my son play his sitar in his room through the walls of our study. It makes me so grateful to be alive. Play on...

So glad we stayed in

Really glad we did not go out this evening as planned. Bone-weariness had set in after our wonderful brunch, and I felt the need to rest.

During that time, I ruminated enjoyably and productively, and now feel absolutely fabulous!

Hope you have a good week.

What a day it's been!

Just got back from a small family reunion welcoming one of our cousins to the Los Angeles area. We had a wonderful brunch, the 11 of us, with bagels, lox, cream cheese, gazpacho, fruit salad, and cake. Lots of stories---from the Civil Rights era to current events.

We talked about our cousin's career plans and found helpful connections among us that may aid her on her path. Looking forward to the next get-together.

Another gorgeous day in Los Angeles! Don't you wish you could be here? By the time I got outside, which was noon-ish, the sun was blindingly beautiful. I hung some clothes outside on the line. Now I think I'll go for a walk before it gets too late; I need the exercise.

I'm resolving to try to remain calm in all situations, not always easy to do. Would also like to enjoy each moment more, appreciate all life has to offer.
