This is the true miracle and joy of life, isn't it? We can live for tens of thousands of wakeups but every single day will be unique. And yet, it's all ours, tied to our past, our now and the future. If life was always fair it would fail to amaze. Thanks for the ideas, CJ.

Hi C.j, Just swallowed the last of my coffee as I write this 😊. I am off to brave the waves this morning, catching up with my beach-buddy. Hope you've had a great day.🥰

Braving the waves, huh … I hope it was everything you wished it would be. You’re a better woman than I —too cold where you are!

It’s been a decent day here. Working out details with our insurer. We have 3 roof repair companies coming to give estimates within the next couple of weeks. We’ll be happy when it’s all behind us and the roof is fixed.

I hope your beach day was good.

🎃🎃🎃😊😊

Glad all is well —I just don’t want you to get sick. You’re going into winter there, right?

CJ, Great quote. I used to ask why me when something negative happened. Now I understand why not me? What makes me immune?" D
