Nothing much to say, just had to share a moment of adorableness.

If you are a child of the eighties, I bet your deely bobbers never looked this cute!

I drove over this!

For those that know me, you know, that I was crying the whole time. Ok more like whining and swearing very loudly, but I DI IT! Not only did I do it, but I did it twice!

Taj whisked me away for a couple of days of peace and quiet after a couple of hard months and the hardest coupla weeks of my life. We drove up to the Monterey Peninsula. Staying in a beautiful cottage in Carmel - By - The - Sea at the Carmel Resort Inn
Very cheap during the off-season. I drove the 17 mile drive, which Kathy has been trying to get me to do for as long as I can remember. It was spectacular. A day in Big Sur for the drive from hell and some beautiful scenery. Then a day in Monterey at the Aquarium and just walking around. There are a couple of videos on you tube there was a spot in the aquarium where kids stood under a domed roof and waves crashed over them, it was fabulous.

All in all it was a very relaxing and refreshing trip. I took some time to reflect and remember and some time to let go.

2 Questions

In the movie "The Bucket List" they refer to an ancient Egyptian theory that when a person dies, they reach a gate where they are asked two questions. First, "Have you found joy in your life"? Second, "Have you brought joy to the lives of others"? Being with mom at a couple of times, where she has said she was very happy, I think the first answer would be yes. And knowing how much joy she brought to not only myself but to all that she met, I am confident that the second would be yes as well.


Could we all answer the same?
