Blindsided by his text

We’ve known each other for 59 years.

 

Epic trip.

Writing.

Hiking.

Reconnecting.

Other than last month, we hadn’t seen each other in 30+ years.

Some of my favorite flowers are leaves

There’s an unreasonable and unnecessary fear of “running out”

personal sketch of Florida home
Years ago, a neighbor had note cards made for us as a gift, featuring a hand-drawn image of our home.

 

Have had a box of these note cards – with a hand-drawn sketch of our home – for about 20 years.

i rarely use them because they’re so special and unique.

There’s an unreasonable and unnecessary fear of “running out” of these cards.

To which the me of 2018 says, “So what?”

Enclosing a cash gratuity with a thank you note for a couple who help us out twice a month.

Can’t wait to run out of these cards.

Being a noticer is a double-edged sword

Being a noticer is a blessing and a curse.

Blessing because you discover so much.

Curse because you discover so much.

Legally hated

Legally hated.

Caught a glimpse of a passing car’s windshield and it looked like the large decal said, “Legally Hated”.

It happened so fast i can’t verify that’s what it said.

No matter, the concept struck me as truth.

Why?

i envision a gay or lesbian person making a profound statement.

If a store owner can legally turn away customers because of their sexual orientation, it’s like saying…

“We don’t like you enough to serve you. We’ll serve everyone else, but not your kind. Please leave at once.”

Hated.

Legally.
