Random thoughts~

* Thinking that it's all about shoes really...whether you are working on your feet all day, or mucking stalls, hiking, dancing, cold, hot, or doing special athletics...shoes make the difference in doing it well and comfortably. Geesh, ain't life simple...and blessed. May we all have the shoes we need, when we need them...

* Wishing on this day to express gratitude to all the students I have known through the years, and to the wonderful group of teachers and librarians I had the pleasure to work with. My life was enriched by them all, especially the ones closest to my heart. (You know who you are, and if you pause to wonder if that means you, then yes, it does!)

* Trying to identify a couple of snakes we've seen around. I had been previously amazed that we never saw any, but with spring, they are out and looking for romantic partners and a few mice. No confirmed poisonous ones so far. :) It does take an attitude adjustment to manage the fear issue. As long as they're nonpoisonous, they can stay. They just have to sign the "I won't scare the sh*t out of you" agreement.

* [Remembering that] the intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
~ Albert Einstein~ Remember to accept and appreciate your intuitions!

* Promising I don't say these things lightly...but my favorite song is EXACTLY by Amy Steinberg and my favorite book is THE TAO OF EQUUS by Linda Kohanov. Both extremely creative and empowering and interesting! Take a listen and a read. Hiiiiiighly recommended. (don't have enough thumbs)

* Realizing I have to post this. Chickens are not so stupid. This is a painful discovery, as I, sadly, am not a vegetarian. (I don't eat much beef, but poultry consumption is frequent.) The "new" chicken group of 10 are almost grown and now have a self-service door to their coop. (like a doggie door). They have responded brilliantly (in relative terms).
