I got carried away with birds and flowers and forgot people and dogs … but they are alway on top of my list. This was a lovely challenge. Being in the moment is a “thing.” It’s part of self-appreciation and a huge parting of acting.

How wonderful to walk a labyrinth on the beach. I’ve done this indoors, but now want to do it Chris-style.

I was too late for the challenge, but this did fit the theme.
Since we bought a house, I’ve been snowed under trying to get it ready, starting back to the school year, and… everything else. My head is spinning. But I wanted to post the photos from the moment Heidi and I had on the banks of the river, just reading and being together.
