So the forecast for rain today was everywhere. I looked out my window in the predawn light and saw many raindrops hanging onto the screen. Puddles on the drive. I gathered my black hooded raincoat, my pink umbrella and my pink vertical striped Wellingtons. I would be well protected. With each step the boot slapped the back of my calf so I tucked my pant legs in to avoid chafing. I rode the bus to North Street then started a short trek to work. A woman at the Police Station said " Those are beautiful boots and they match your umbrella. Very nice" I thanked her then was able to splash in a puddle before entering Battery Park. What a fine snap in my step. Smiles from everyone even the guy walking his dogs. What a wonderful way to start the day. Not one raindrop fell once I left home. These are some boots!

Love. Powerful love swirling around and around. Feel it. Let it heal you. Bask in it. It's there. It's everywhere. You just have to know it. Know that it's there. Know that it's everywhere. Smile

The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience, and truth over popularity...these are the choices that measure your life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.
I've decided that this will be a continual list of what touches me and creates any thought at all, some thoughts light, just landings of a skipping stone on the water, barely hitting the surface but creating ripples that reach far, some thoughts that are heavy, found deep within me, pulled out like taffy that are sticky and messy and unwielding and will soon drop where they will. This should be great fun.
I read the courage description this weekend and it stayed in my mind. It is a thought that arcs over my entire life. I spend time taking in different information, then I'm enthralled with noticing what jumps out at me, what sparkles, what part is most important to me.... Waiting to see why the particular thought is important is also enthralling. This thought of courage kept swirling around and around in my thoughts as a background while I lived the daily activities. So...there it is. Upfront
