Flying to Belize One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few. |
The weather here in the south has been unpredictable with more rain, clouds, thunder, lightning than usual. But each time I'd glide into the swimming pool, I would look up--eyes protected with UV sunglasses--into the cloud-filled sky to find the sun shining through, right over the pool. Smiling, I continued lapping. One afternoon there came a cloudburst, but no thunder and lightning. Swimming in the rain with my sunglasses protecting my eyes from the pounding rain felt like a delightful outdoor shower. My summer of tenacity voted me Esther Williams of Golden Hills. Like I always say, it's never too late! Sixty-four-year-old Diana Nyad can vouch for that! (she just completed swimming from Cuba to Florida!)
Summer is winding down, but I'm feeling invigorated as Autumn breezes slowly approach. I will replace swimming with long walks and SaSuBe dance classes.
A Tip to all of you out there in Lady Leaf Land: take care of your body, soul and spirit. You'll feel--and look--much better when you do.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
We're I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.
Psalm 139:17-18
I wish you smooth sailing through Fall and oceans of blessings!
