Before one of us starts to forget, spirit

Before one of us starts forgetting, i’d like to start remembering…

  • Our first wondering about ‘what if’.
  • Our first realization for marriage.
  • Our first trip to Sanibel’s West Wind Inn.
  • Our first trip to Sanibel’s Mitchells Sand Castles.
  • Our first time burying a pet.
  • Our first Mass.
  • Our first time holding hands.
  • Our first realization we couldn’t have children.
  • Our first IVF protocol.
  • Our first child’s birth.

Seeing the small stuff

small daisy
Starting with the ‘headliner’, a tiny, wild daisy.
sidewalk by fire station
Lower right corner: Added my chapstick tube for location and size context.
small daisy next to sidewalk
More context. Easy to see closeup at ground level when that’s what you’re specifically looking for, and you already know it’s there.
sidewalk
Literally impossible to see, especially if you aren’t even remotely trying to spot one. But i saw it somehow. If you zoom in on the right sidewalk edge, near the photo’s middle…

i tell Cheryl, “If i had a daisy for every time i thought of you, i could walk through a field of daisies forever.”

Lucky seven?

  1. When do you feel most loved by me?
  2. How can i love you better?
  3. If we could create one new tradition together, what would it be?
  4. When was the last time you felt truly at peace?
  5. If you could relive one moment in our relationship, what would it be?
  6. If we could fast-forward 10 years, what do you hope our life looks like?
  7. What’s something you’ve been holding back from telling me?

Copied these questions from an Instagram post.

Can’t buy me love

The Beatles are one of music’s great icons.

Kudos to them and their management and marketing teams.

The notion that you could buy love is as philosophical as philosophy gets.

But when you have love, you have a wealth money can’t buy.

Here’s to hoping that is your life.

Dear Son category reprise, spirit

God gave me an insatiable desire to .think .differently

Every good thing that humanity appreciates and enjoys today began as a dumb idea in the past.

Embrace your dumb ideas.

Be grateful you have them.

Starting with yourself, ignore the critics.

And go, transform and improve your world with your dumb ideas.
