A lot more than seven good things this week, but I’ll start with the rain break that came early this afternoon. I’m in Texas, and we have made the news lately with stories about our oppressive heat. All true. So, when I opened the door to see wet front steps, I took full advantage of a rainy day walk. I could breathe. I could walk without effort. I even coaxed Ada out to join me. I’m not sure she shared the delight, but she came for awhile. 🐾 ☔️ Sunshine is usually associated with lifted spirits, but it was all about rain for me today.
Other good things in no certain order :
Dolls and trucks and a trail of toys meaning 4 little grands were on the premises recently …
Read to me, Loulou —-not sure there are sweeter words…
Stories shared by my face to face and online students…stories that simultaneously broke my heart and reminded me that we do indeed survive some hard moments. When someone tells you their story, it is a holy gift.
Leap frog. Haha…the inside version was brave but brought laughter.
The lone zinnia in my raised bed. I have not gotten around to planting this year, but one came along anyway. There’s always one of something good, I’ve found.
Speaking of…while I have prolific gardeners in my life, I’m not one this season. However, I do have one tiny tomato on a vine-in a pot-in need of water-which it received today. Proof that some things survive regardless. Some good things.
That’s a fast seven. Hope yours are just as fast.
✌️ and Happy 4th of July time to my USA readers. May you remember that freedom is for all of us. In all its forms. 🇺🇸
