Chihuly Garden and Glass

The recommendation to visit the Chihuly Garden and Glass was the best advice EVER! It truly is a must see when you are in the Seattle area, and you can bundle your admission ticket with your visit to the Space Needle. If you have never experienced either attraction they are both worth the dollars and time.

Our visit here is at the top of our amazing list of adventures from our recent weekend in Seattle!

Snowfall Winter 2021

 

Mid-town Anchor-town received the first snow that will be tagged as the beginning of winter 2021. It is disorienting to some, welcomed by others, and always a good day for the young among us.

May the young person inside of you have an excellent day. Hug those you love, and send postcards to brighten someone's day.

Halcyon Days


Today I celebrate childhood, specifically these two cutie pies, and how much fun I had with them throughout their childhood, and especially their teenage years.

280 Days



Two hundred and eighty days is what it takes to grow a human. It begins with a small cluster of cells that build the blocks of who we will become.

This is a true wonder. Think about it, all it takes is two hundred and eighty days and there you have it, a new person, right before your very eyes, ready to be filled up with love, and knowledge.

If the miracle of growing a new human can happen in this relatively short amount of time then surely, given the same number of days, I can recreate myself.  

Recreate myself into someone who has the space to explore new interests. Someone who has the courage to be free from the salt mines. Someone who spends more of their time in the pursuit of broader perspectives.

Starting with a small cluster of ideas filled with endless possibilities, I am changing directions. And the next two hundred and eighty days is just the beginning.

Measuring

Image of yellow floweri.g shrubbery

When life teaches us to measure our greed. Greed for love, money, more time.

We are standing at the edge, wind on our face, and a catch in our breath. 

Mind your step as the next one is a doozy.
