Valuing Slow . . . and Living it

So, being here in Tucson — alone with just my oldest grandson — I have had a chance to gradually relax into slow. I am loving it. I feel as if I am giving myself a chance to unfold and expand into something a little bit more.

A Good Day! A Good Life!

But, then, I am not the one who in the last two years brought the Library up to just about Perfect! I’m not the creator . . . it is not my “baby.” When the Parent App is running it’s so easy for it to overwhelm us!

Dogs and Coaches — and Cats?

Good Morning, God! How long is it, God, that dogs have chosen to be our companions? A long, long time. Faithful friends. Surely a beneficial relationship for both dog and human. I remember staying at a B&B in England that

Too Many Cattle Egrets?

Good Morning, God! I remember the first time I saw cattle egrets. It was back in the 1980s and I saw two or three of them in the watercress patch below the Pearlridge Shopping Center. I thought they were beautiful.

Understanding Mom’s Cat — Hearing What Is Not Said

Why Can’t I Hear Cat — and Myself?

Good Morning, God! I must say, God, I have never had a Cat speak so INSISTENTLY as my mother’s cat does. It feels as if she is using “telepathy” to communicate. Only I rather think telepathy doesn’t require quite so much

Smiling Dogs and Random Thoughts

Good Morning, God! Such a smile on this dog’s face — I had to take his photo and that brought smiles to his owners’ faces. Actually, he looked happier before I came closer. Here he looks just a wee bit

Interspecies Communication and Trust

Good Morning, God! Sometimes I get discouraged about our species, God. There are so many good individuals — but, in aggregate we seem to be busy destroying ecosystems and pushing animals into extinction. In fact, looking at the elephants on

Golden Plovers and their Spring Trip

Pacific Golden Plover Good Morning, God! We are getting close to mid-April when the Kolea (Pacific Golden Plovers) gather and then fly off to Alaska. I love seeing these bird, God. Partly, because they are beautiful, but also because the
