Yosemite
Things came together today. I’m pretty grateful. I really want to take my kids on a summer adventure. My older daughter suggested Yosemite not too long ago.

Snippets of GOOD
From an old friend, this quote, recently shared. I think it stands pretty well on its own. Enjoy. I did. Do. "As long as we observe love for others and respect for their rights and dignity in our daily lives, then whether we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in the Buddha or God, …
A Child’s Wisdom
“This is peaceful” - Levi, my son, as we walked the woods recently with his sisters. Wind in the trees, sound like rushing water. So close to the metropolis of a million people, yet a world away too.

Lots packed in; adventure, chores, errands, fun. With the kids, it’s all in the wheelhouse of what’s possible; and it was. Some good lessons both ways; and some little victories that add to the foundation of their future. So bright, I gotta wear shades; so bright, I gotta wear shades.
BBQ Respite
Doesn’t take much to find a little respite. Old BBQ fired up, coals burning hot, does the trick. Chicken Thighs and Broccoli on the grill tonight. Day on the wane, weekend eve, late start to dinner, no problem at all. Evening breeze, kids in the yard, sun sinking low, all good. Thankful for the weekend. …
