The book has made it all da way down to da bayou y’all … with da fishing boats and seagulls in Grand Isle, Louisiana … I have some fond and not so fond memories of Grand Isle!! When I was in Jr High we stayed at someone’s trailer there and I caught tons of flounder!!!! YAY me!! THAT was fun! Then that night when trying to sleep I discovered the place was FULL of flying cockroaches … Good Golly! I almost suffocated myself with the covers pulled over my head so tightly! I did not enjoy sleeping with flying cockroaches!! My flounder was Good though!

Hot and Salty
The taste of satisfaction
Is one of my favorite flavors
Whirling into my nostrils
Dancing between my lips
Sliding through the spaces
Between my teeth
Gliding over my tongue
Lighting up my taste buds
The taste of satisfaction
Sweet and savory
Satisfaction an eagle coursing
Through my veins
Satisfaction a honeysuckle bloom
Freed from its vine
The scent escaping from my skin
Satisfaction the flavor
Released when the results
Of past decisions
Grow to bear
Desired fruits
Satisfaction the flavor
Released when life
Blooms sweet memories
From past darkness, harshness
Satisfaction the flavor
Released when words
Flow, come together
Linking the puzzle pieces of language
to sync with readers or listeners
The taste of satisfaction
the flavor released from the love language
I give to myself
By having the courage
To be vulnerable
The courage to say yes
The courage to say no
The courage to get up
And do the things
Grabbing ahold of life
Speaking, Dancing, Laughing
The courage to wake up
And heal, releasing my mind
Loving myself
Giving myself stability
The taste of satisfaction
A little bit hot
A little bit salty
Is one of my favorite flavors

E is for Expectation…”This journey will be much more fulfilling and full of joy, when we are able to live in the present moment and break the habit of being so rooted in our expectations. Expectations can be limiting. Once we loosen our grip on our expectations, we may find we have freed ourselves to allow an unexpected outcome to go way beyond anything we could have imagined.” Great book, Camilla Downs! I am thoroughly enjoying every page of it.” -Melanie G.

When the day calls for a wee mini adventure … “Working at the car wash … Get your car washed today” … Thomas and Lillian weren’t that impressed with my singing!! We had a ball! Rosey is so happy to be clean! She got vacuumed too … Love a nice clean car.
Thomas and I went to Great Basin Community Food Coop today while Lillian was in therapies. When we got home he said that was the best grocery store ever! I asked why and he said cause everybody was talking to one another and to the customers. Plus, we got a big cup of their home made soup! YUM! I agree with Thomas … It’s a great and friendly place. We will be going there more often! We all had another fun walk tonight! xoxo
