I DO smell the roses...

Really. When I take my morning walks, I stop and smell the roses. They seem exceptionally beautiful this spring. And the Linda McCratney rose bush that Herman grows is so lovely and has the best and most graceful rose fragrance ever. ahhhhhhh.

My second sleepless, restless night, I found myself up at 4:15 a.m. and out for my walk about 5:30 as it got light. Oh what a sweet time that is. That time of day and dusk are so magical. Fresh and innocent. Fragrant.

I marvelled at walking. I mean, the actual activity of walking. We so take it for granted as our natural state of being and common activity. Yet, what an acheivement it is in balance and engineering.

A BRIEF BLOG LESSON--I know some folks are uncertain or wary about posting. When you comment in order for it to be posted, you must fill in that box wiht the squiggly letters. It is a way to ensure the site does not get comprised or hacked. It does not mean you are creating your own blog. And you can choose to post anonymously or set it up with your name. Your post does not give me your email, so I cannot answer directly. Sooooo...if you post a commen and I wish to reply specifically to something you said, i will post under your comment within the blog. Rather than answer individuals within a new posting from me, I will add my $.02 to your $.02 under the comments section of that particular day's posting.

For example, Tina requested that I post the Marcus Aurelius quote I used at Sunday service. Sure! So what I did is post a response under that day within the comments section. (If you go back Tina, you will find it their at the bottom of the comments). Postings show up in their original chronology, so anything new is at the bottomg.

Starting to get sleepy and it's only 7:21 am. I have been up for three hours and now want to take a short nap.

Enjoy this amazing, beautiful last day of May.
