I thought it was already July. Nope, a few more hours of June.
It has actually been quite busy. But I'm focused upon the actions that I'll be gearing up for at the end of July. Like an athlete training for a race...I'm in the final days here.
OK, goodbye June. You've been good to me. Thanks for the memories. I sure spent as much time as possible with friends this month. It was almost daily seeing someone for some reason or another. I'll miss them so much.
This is a unintented photo...as I was walking along carrying the phone, leaving the Lakeview Center's lunch program last week. I like the colors though.
Not my photo, and I am not sure where it came from... while the moon is actually just past full tonight. Last night it woke me up, shining in my eyes.
Don't speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn't know the difference. Words are energy and they cast spells, that's why it's called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself, and you can change your life.

Suzanne and I have frequently had Sunday lunch dates by the Flat Creek on Ole' Guacamole's patio. The water wasn't too high last week while there was steady rain.
I also ran into Tina, Dawn, Jeff and Tim, who have befriended me many times while living for the last 19 years here in Black Mountain. I met all of these friends through the Unitarian Universalist Congregation here.

I posted my experience of my friend's husband's recent death over on my other blog, Inner Workings.
...keep taking unintended photos, you will be surprised by what you might capture.
ReplyDeleteI already like candid photos better than the ubiquitous selfies.
Delete...I never take selfies!!!
DeleteThis is all rather bittersweet, isn't it? I'm glad you have so many beautiful memories to carry with you.
ReplyDeleteI'm throwing away many old things that I've carried with me for years...a whole photo album or two. Who wants photos of the trees and creeks from 1991's visit in the Smokies, anyway. I will keep a few of the people with me. I've found that relationships are the true values I cherish now.
DeleteWhat wonderful friendships you have enjoyed! Here's to new faces and experiences where you land!
ReplyDeleteOh I'll raise a glass to that toast definitely. One is silver and the other is gold, a truism that works.
DeleteSuzanne looks like a lot of fun. I wonder if black Mountain friends might come visit you in Colorado?
ReplyDeleteSo far I have invited lots of folks, but most are not able to consider a long trip any more. Who knows, maybe someone will still fly out west from NC! I will eventually have some kind of permanent guest conveniences. For the first while I'll be sleeping on the blow-up bed myself!
DeleteThis is beautifully said about planet Earth, best regards, Jasna
ReplyDeleteIsn't that a nice saying! I am glad you liked it also.
DeleteHello and happy July to you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of you and your friends. Love the moon photo. facetime is a good way to keep in touch with long distance friends.Take care, enjoy your day!
And Facetime sometimes catches me in less than prepared for videos. But my family is used to thata and they're the ones calling usually. Mmm, will see if my friends will start doing that once I move!
DeleteI don’t think Bruce Lee would be impressed with me since I tend to use self-deprecating humour on occasion.
ReplyDeleteActually AC, I think you have an inner Bruce Lee who comes out every once in a while!
DeleteLove your unintended photo. And the addendum to This Too Shall Pass is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at the first completely, as I have so many unintended pics of the bottom of a pocket or purse. Definitely the right phrase for This Too for these days!
DeleteThat final meme is so funny, I shared it with family.
ReplyDeleteLike an athlete in training is a good way to think about moving because there is so much involved and meeting with friends is an important part of that.
