2022 Happy To Be Here

Some happy things from today: Friends gathered today to commemorate a dear friend we lost four years ago. It was wonderful to see the faces of friends on this hot day. It was a gathering that our friend would have enjoyed. I could hear his laughter as the conversation kept coming back to how to keep and milk a moose. Watching a little girl (three year old) who had earned her cookie by eating all her dinner. She admired it and gently hugged it to her face before enjoying its sweet soft crunch. It was a hot day.  Keziah decided that what was needed on this hot day was a kiddie pool.  She went out with Bel and friends and bought a kiddie pool that they added water and ice to and soaked their feet.   ☮ Currently reading:  Pocketful of Miracles: Prayer, Meditations, and Affirmations to Nurture Your Spirit Every Day of the Year , Joan Borysenko.

It was AMAZING. Keziah, Bel, and I went to see a production of 1776 at the Loeb Theater. If you read my blog regularly, you may remember that we watch the movie 1776 every Fourth of July.  Keziah, me, and Bel. The curtain. There was a display to learn more about the production. The actors in this production were all women or LGBTQ+. It worked beautifully. There were only a few changes made from what I consider the original. One of those was the addition of part of a letter that Abigail Adams wrote asking that women have the same rights as men. The musical left me overwhelmed with emotions. I wasn't quite sobbing, almost. Other  happy  things from today include: Driving through a Boston suburb and seeing turkeys walking on the sidewalks around store fronts on the way to see  1776 . There is a song in  1776  the movie that asks the question of whether the national bird should be a dove, eagle, or turkey. We sang a few lines. And yes, they included the s...

 Since it is another late night for me I'm going to try to make this short and fast.  Here are some happy things for today: Out walking Aesop, our dog, this morning the view was lovely.  There was something about the clear air and clouds... There was a birthday party for Gideon today in Massachusetts with his friends.  They played and decorated cookies. Towards the end I went for a short walk.  It was great to see people, but I guess i am not ready to see people for very long yet.  I found a nice trail that I hope to explore more another time. For the 35th day of the A&S challenge I did another row on the latch hook.  I'm looking forward to finishing this.  ☮ Currently reading: Pocketful of Miracles: Prayer, Meditations, and Affirmations to Nurture Your Spirit Every Day of the Year , Joan Borysenko.
