“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good” Tonight, I am grateful for so much music in the world. I swear, sometimes I can’t take it. And I am grateful for obtuse humor – and an inside joke.

This past weekend we celebrated Memorial Day; a day when we remember the soldiers who served for and gave their lives for the freedoms that we citizens of the United States of America enjoy. I feel for the families that have lost loved ones in any war or “action” that the U.S. has been involved…

I am grateful that I was able to spend this gorgeous day with my family… sharing the joys of our community and relishing the vibe of downtown Mill Valley. I am grateful for my brother and sisters… I am grateful for the vets who gave their lives, living and passed, for their belief in freedom…

Tonight, I am grateful for the second wind I just got – ’cause there is some things for me to finish before I head off to bed… So, yeah – I am grateful for second wind. ….of course, one can easily find many things to be grateful for. USA gun regulations isn’t one of them.

This past weekend I spent some time with an old friend at her house. In her early Seventies, she continues to work, even though she retired twenty years ago. She enjoys what she is doing and it keeps her mind young. I understand this and I feel that I will be the same; always working…
