... grateful for refreshed perspective via folks who listen to understand, even when I don’t fully understand yet.. it helps my brain/soul process.. it’s a big world, yet everything is connected somehow.. so we can choose to help it along in small ways, by redirecting some water to a thirsty plant.. we’re here as gardeners of the galaxy.. ;)
... grateful for quality time spent with interested and giving individuals.. what a gift to share—this synchronized rhythm of being in time to learn and experience.. stayed up talk with M til 10:30–this is way past my usual 8:30 bedtime.. we talked about everything and nothing in a way.. while munching on fresh cracked pecans that somehow tasted like a maple syrup cascade..
... grateful for experiments.. the spirit of trying something new, in order to observe and/or optimize what can become of imagination.. quite magical in a way..

Enjoy the pics ~!!!

... grateful for things of ease that bring freedom and joy.. went into town yesterday to sell my car.. it took about 30 minutes from the time I drove on and then got a ride off the lot.. I was making it a bigger deal than it actually was.. I had feared being without a car for the first time since high school.. I was attached to the idea of “freedom” granted by vehicular mobility—and when I detached, I saw that “freedom” was merely an engraved impression scratched onto the steel shackles.. the key to release these cuffs was to release the car keys themselves, because I had been holding onto them so dearly.. so I got home and E made us some gnocchis (“no-keys”).. on the way home, I was wondering how I’d like to celebrate with the others.. a meal with no keys gnocchi—how serendipitous..!
... grateful for peace of mind in not having a car in my name.. it’s truly tremendous..
... grateful for the folks who helped get me to where I am.. friends who supported my decision, friends who offered to let me borrow their vehicles, friends who offered to give me a ride.. you know who you are.. :) thank you.. I’m reminded again that supportiveness is the wind beneath wings..

Needless to say I’m feeling some heightened emotions of positivity and possibility..!!

... Enjoy the pics ~!!!
