On My Mind...death is bitter-sweet. The departed leave pain and cares behind, while we are left to carry on. Funerals and such bring relatives and friends out of the woodwork. Reunions of this sort are nice, but a little empty. I suppose it is the way of things. Maybe the horrors I've experienced with MIL and FIL this year have left me a bit tender and frightened. No, not frightened of dying but of pain, gore, and loss of dignity...
Celebration...MIL's freedom from pain...
Praying For...Gayle and Jason and Kelsey...
Natural World...on out early morning walks in AZ, we often met a lovely golden eagle. This bird greeted and thrilled us with a loud screech on each meeting. I went inside to get my camera, but the eagle was gone every time I had my camera with me. Shy? We saw peregrine falcons and red tailed hawks, too. Probably, the prevalence of raptors was due to the huge amount of cotton tail rabbits and quail on the golf course and surrounding neighborhoods. We also saw some very healthy looking coyotes.
Toward a Real Education...even though I have next to no time to study, I have kept up writing my anatomy book plus Shakespeare and Plutarch lessons. It's not much, but it's something...
Simple Pleasure...my own comfortable bed...

Reading the scriptures and keeping this journal are my delight. I do not keep an online journal to preach to anyone but myself. I like this format, because I can add pictures and correct my writing easier. If you enjoy reading it, I am happy. If you feel offended, please, realize it is not my intention to offend but to teach myself. No negative comments will not be published.
