So, do you feel older or younger today? Admittedly I am doing my best to pretend I am younger. Saw an article today that placed me politically with those that are younger. My doctor says I am aging in reverse, but without rolfing I would not do as well, and I am finally getting a major crop of grey hair. Still a mix, but age must be catching me off my game. Of course most of my peers have been grey for quite some time. Did you celebrate with a big old hamburger or a special organ rendition of...

Happy Easter. I just lost my message to you, so I will try again. I thought I was pressing submit, but it was cancel. I couldn't see it correctly. I didn't make it to sunrise service as I should have, even though I always enjoy it, especially the sprinkling. Then I didn't go to the next service, in spite of the continued nudging. Yes, noted, and appreciated always. I had no excuse. I did have cataract surgery Thursday, and I now wish I had done it sooner, as I can see better than I have since...

Happy Birthday. Assuming you don't age anymore, I am close to catching up. Yesterday in a fifteen minute exploration off my path I found a place you would have loved. Not sure if it was in Fishersville or part of Waynesboro. I knew my oldest would love the nutcrackers, but the giant Santa with an equally large reindeer next to it was all you. Definitely the best vision I have seen of a Christmas toy shop. I was very glad to have stumbled upon it and to have viewed some glorious heavenly skies...

Happy Father's Day Above. Yes, you were in thought at Easter as well, all of Easter. I love this time of year, and I really only dred winter. I know I should learn to appreciate it, but the cold and I do not get along. The older I get it becomes even more of an issue. I have done a little planting, but lots of yard work. It never ends. My oldest had his birthday last week. So hard to imagine how fast time is passing. He had gotten a new grill and was excited to cook out. It had worked...

Happy Easter Dear Sir! Spent time out in a garden with friends yesterday. It felt just like the perfect Easter outing following an outdoor labyrinth walk. I found myself wondering if you could roller blade it. Definitely continue to need lots of help to the world to get right, so do what you can. Blessings and thoughts always. RL

Another year has passed. I worked in the yard today. The weather was wonderful with incredible moving clouds and a beautiful sunset. The mountains were a purple treasure. I love the warm days and appreciate more time with daylight outside.

Last night I noted green lights for St. Patrick's Day illuminating part of the Hotel Roanoke. I stopped and took some photos. An artist friend sends daily gifts of her incredible photos and art. She sent a message that reminded me of a song I had...

It's Easter, a favorite time for you. Some of the plants have flowered and more are budding. It is a beautiful day, and while things are improving I still don't know if we have learned what we should have. Hopefully the concept of family and others will be larger in our thinking. I hold much gratitude. All are well at this point, and that is such a blessing. Not sure I will ever be comfortable taking a flu shot again in the future, but for now it isn't an issue to worry about until next...

Happy Birthday. Very glad you are not witnessing much that is happening in this realm, at least from here. I could never have imagined such a time. You would likely handle it better than most of us have. I have been blessed so far, and family is safe. Much improvement is needed in thinking. Hope society can find a way to greater kindness, care, and peace. Wish I could send you some of my favorite ice cream, but maybe you can beam it up from my thoughts. Keep us all in prayer down here and...

It is almost Easter. I always think of it as your favorite. I watched as they changed the alter tonight, and I enjoyed the music, as well as celebrating LoveFeast in a different manner than is typical. Almost 2,000 people globally by computer. So much to think of at this time. Neither of us would have ever thought of facing a time such as this. Thoughts naturally turn to family and worry for them. Pray with me that all remain safe and in his love and care. Pray for solutions and...
