Today has been a day of "going with the flow". The sun is shining, my tulips are blooming like crazy and my four lilac bushes are perfuming the air. The day has been full of birthday greetings that have warmed my heart and leave me so grateful for family and friends!
So what is next??
I am contemplating buying a new bicycle. That seems like a pretty good thing to me....a new bicycle at 60. Much more fun than walking and involves a little more skill. I won't be riding the highways, but tooling along the back streets might be fun. At least it is something to think about.
What are you reading? Seems like I am stuck right now. My book club is reading Half the Sky by Kristof and WuDunn. It is a hard read. I read for about 20 minutes and have to stop. It is a book that everyone should read, but it is not easy going. Women "hold up half the sky", and yet, even in the 21st century there are thousands and thousands of girls and women who are trafficed into sex slavery. There are women who have no voice. There are women who are brutalized. There are women who are worth less than the property owned by their household. And yet, this book offers hope. It is an inspiring read...but it is not easy.
As I watch the robins in my yard and see my little dog Maggie rolling in the green grass, I know it is a good day. And now....out to plant some flower seeds.
