    Serendipity

    / November 2, 2021

    She wasn’t the dragon I thought I remembered. Nor was she a sea serpent. She was brave and kind. She was Serendipity. And gained riches she didn’t seek… Sometimes the best things aren’t…

    This Moment… Welcome to my morning…

    / September 19, 2019

    A pileated woodpecker makes his presence known, chortling over the carriage house. Like a cat, I follow the languorous patch of sunlight. This is the moment I'm living. Are you living your moment?

This morning's lazy-recovery-morning art doodle. I This morning's lazy-recovery-morning art doodle. It would seem I have another "new manifestation" of migraine. The worst stinking earache. Well, really, ear pain isn't new, but it was the worst yesterday. I was on the edge of leaving work and getting a ride to urgent care thinking it might be some monster ear infection because it wasn't a typical pain. But it eased back enough just in time and the lovely incessant-yawning fatigue set in. Then last night's weird hard sleep. All things considered, way far from the worst migraine, but some intense, though fortunately relatively short-lived, pain. 

Time to engage the day's activity. Have a good Saturday, Friends. 👍
