Anchor

Family, 9/14/2016

Anchor during rough waters, that's my family.  The group pictured above is an exceptional anchor.  Look at the smiles, on perhaps the saddest day of my life.  The love poured over me was amazing.  The mood was a conscious decision, we were all sad.  The smiles are not fake, they are real and so were the tears.  Smiles prevailed however and you know smiles are the best.  Today I'm back at the ranch, sitting on the porch.  Most of the hummingbirds have migrated to warmer weather, even though it feels perfect to me. As I write this two hummingbirds buzzed by letting me know some of them are still around. The yard looks like spring again because of all the rain, a gentle breeze is blowing.   Life is going on all around, I'm a bit slow to join.  Today I'll try to join in life a little more than yesterday and that's all I'll ask of myself .... lets all try and live a little more today ... I'll be cheering us on.
