Legs




I searched for a good quote

about legs

and came up short!

In a power of positive thinking

sort of way:

"My legs are sturdy and strong;

they take me places I want to go."







I gave up years ago yearning for

long slender legs like a dancer might have.

That's just not who I am.  Nor will I ever be!

And that's ok with me.  Now.

In this photo experiment, I was trying for

some kind of reflection in the water.

But when the concrete is 120+ degrees,

the water doesn't have a chance to stick around!

Welcome to Summer in Arizona!

(And of course, Sadie didn't miss her chance

at being in the pic!)

A New Day


The sun rises

with every new day

When things aren't going well

You can count on the sun to rise

Each new day is a new beginning

It's up to us to make the most of them












It's been a chaotic two weeks for me

and with each day,

with each challenge that cropped up

I got to the point where I had to take

things one small step at a time.

Lunch hours became that little window

of time where I could deal with one task each day.

Making a phone call.

Having papers notarized at the bank.

Dropping papers off at the FedEx office.

It was "one day at a time" against my To Do list

Thursday's lunch hour was spent at a Dealership

Walking among a "sea of Cruzes", I spotted The One.

Way in the back, because that's just how my luck is!

3 cars had to be moved so I could test drive

It had enough options to please, without extra options I'd never use

(like a moon roof).  The paint job is called Pepperdust -

a little gold metallic over this light grey paint.

Three hours later, I was back at work, happy with my new purchase

.... and a slight dread over having car payments again!

But with each new day, each new challenge, I'll make it work. :)
