Touching Silence

Well once again here we are on another holiday season where friends, family and loved ones gather and the chatter is non-stop as well it should be on this Thanksgiving day. However, let's remember to find times where we are "touching silence" and replenishing our souls with the "food" it so craves. Happy Thanksgiving and may you find, "Serenity on Ultracloud".

Two cool dudes trying to imitate the Fonz! Wait, the Fonz wishes he were this cool! ;-) My father turned 79 on Thursday, November 19th and my nephew turned 23 on the 17th. Both are named Greg as my nephew was named after my dad. I remember the day Greg was born and my father was over the moon to have his first grandchild, just two days before his birthday and not to mention that he was given his name as well. I am so blessed to still have my father and in moments like these when the family is together, it brings such joy to my dad and my niece captured the joy so well in this photo.

Four Things

There are four things that you cannot recover in life:

(1) The Stone..........after it's thrown,

(2) The Word..............after it's said,

(3) The Occasion......after it's missed,

and

(4) The Time............after it's gone..

I touched a butterfly today! Acutally, I almost stepped on him but thank goodness I saw him moving. He even let me touch him too. Thanksgiving for gracing me with his presence.

Ok, so maybe 50 doesn't look so bad after all. BTW, new glasses are coming soon and time to retire my old ones. I still miss wearing my contacts.

burred photos seem to be the theme of the week but that's what the past 50 years has felt like....one big BLUR with a few occasional moments where time stood still. Thank you for all the well wishes the past few days. I am blessed with family and friends and life in general. Title taken by Paco de Lucia song I am listening to.

Word of the day...

Lagrimas de guitarra, de amor, de vida, y de paz

pero lagrimas de lluvia suban el corazon al cielo

y sientes tranquilo.
