For the first 50 years of my life, my perfectionist self mistakenly believed it was all about knowing more, getting it right, planning, attempting to prevent bad things from happening, and keeping all of my chicks in a row. It took me this long to discover that the JOURNEY is all that matters. This quote from Gilda Radner sums it all up:

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

My Window - February 16, 2016

 I decided to begin a weekly series featuring the view from
my front window.  Why?  

This is what I see every morning as I eat breakfast.
Each day, it never looks the same as the day before.
Some things remain steady, but these are few.

We find comfort in the steady.
We yearn for variety and change.
We delight in surprise.

And we often take for granted what we see each day.


"I feel that it is healthier to look out at the world
through a window than through a mirror.  
Otherwise, all you see is yourself and whatever
is behind you."  ~Bill Withers
