It is a beautiful day.
That makes for a nice change after a heartbreaking week. Not only was there the terrorist acts in Paris but, closer to home, I marked the tenth anniversary of the death of a beloved cousin.
Thankfully, there was good, too.*. I managed to catch the Air Force flyover on Veterans Day as they buzzed my little 'burb. As someone who grew up being dragged to air shows and taken along on flying lessons, there's still something about witnessing a low flyover. It was a good reminder of how much I love it here and of the good stuff life has to offer. Even on days when finding the upside is a struggle.
Maybe it's a sign of me growing up or getting old(er), but my priorities have shifted. What and who I hold dear, who and what I have time for, and how I see life, the world, and the people I share my days with.
So much change. Whether folks can deal with it or not.
Thank Bob I am blessed with truly amazing people, who get me and return my calls anyway. Weird, right?
Here's hoping your day is just as beautiful as mine.
* Also lots of compliments on my new-ish haircut. While nice to hear, it's always a little weird when men make a fuss. It's just hair and all I do is grow it and keep it clean. All the magic is good genes and a great stylist.
Good genes and a great stylist are the answer to a lot of things.
Change. Change is good. Change can be scary, but it's good.
A linguistics teacher once said that the only language that doesn't change is a dead one. I think that can apply to many things.

I'm glad you're having beautiful days.
Change really is scary. Even when it's for the best.

Good genes and a great stylist. You are so lucky. I haven't trusted my hair to a stylist for more than 4 years. I should probably have it cut off and donate it for children's wigs. It's so fine, but then I'd actually have to do something other than braiding it back out of my way. Hope your day continued to be beautiful.

Fly overs are the best! And keep the good things and thoughts coming!
