Hi. Yeah. The world is rough. Take a break. Step away from social media. Play or make some music. Get colored pencils and doodle. Go for a walk. Fill your well. There are good people. There is good news in neighbors helping neighbors. Banksy quote “if you get tired learn to rest not to quit.”

Dirt therapy. Life is always better on days where I get to play with rocks, dirt, and growing things. If you see dirt under my nails, you know I had a great day.

Garden half worked. Leaves raked. Weeds pulled. And rearranged stone border on the finished side.

Yay! I was describing my favorite tree. (Edited to add alt text).

Grand sycamore tree, view from the base of the tree looking up into the branches. Summer time with green leaves. Sunny day.

I’m tired of days getting shorter. I’m looking forward to the Winter solstice in about 35 days (northern hemisphere).

The current project. Wooden house. Gets painted every 5-7 years. Going with a brighter yellow. Because I need ‘brighter!’

Side view of house with ladder. The top shows the old color yellow “rise and shine”.
The bottom shows the new, excellent brighter yellow “buzz-in”

I hope you add adventure and whimsy to your day. (Step away from doom scrolling…that is enough news. Go outside. Find a book. Discover a new music artist.)

After not being on a bike for years, rode 6 miles yesterday and 6 miles today. My bottom is not saddle-ready. My bottom is sore. I’m reminded of this Calvin & Hobbes strip:

Calvin & Hobbes comic strip where Susie, worried she might get paddled at school, declares matter of factly: “Girls have more delicate heinies.”

I wonder if Donald has seen the holocaust museum. NBC news headline from Aug 18, 2025. “Trump says the Smithsonian focuses too much on ‘how bad slavery was’. It isn’t too much. It is clear we need more education on how bad slavery was.

NBC news headline from Aug 18, 2025. “Trump says the Smithsonian focuses too much on ‘how bad slavery was’.

It isn’t too much. It is clear we need more education on how bad slavery was. And how bad racism is today.

I do love little gnomes. But I also laugh each time I see this dinosaur

Hilarious garden decoration of a dinosaur grabbing/eating a bunch of colorful garden gnomes.

Incredibly great energy at DC Pride. My friend gave ‘mom hugs’. Many churches marched with various forms of “Jesus loves you” signs. PFLAG with strong numbers. Seniors who paved the way. I cried with joy at the size of the ‘family area’ at the festival. We’ve come a long way, baby. Happy Pride.

Todays project. Power washing. One of my favorite chores. Beers and guitar on the porch later. Hoping you all are finding good and joy today.

Be a visible ally. Gay/trans teens have a higher rate of suicide. They need to know there are decent people who love and support them. Our voices need to drown out the hateful messages in the news and media. Tell them “You are loved. You deserve love.”

Hey friends. Weekend!Even if you end up working, make plans to do -something- for yourself. Ideas: Go for a walk. Check out new music. Call a friend. Browse a bookstore. Check out local art (or online art if you can’t get out). Me? I’m gonna bike with friends and check out local sites.

Whether you believe “Love thy neighbor” or you’re into “being a good person”, kindness spreads good energy! Hold a door. Say please. Let the other car in (& withhold from the horn). Tell someone ‘good job’. Listen harder & don’t interrupt. (I’m working on the horn thingy & on not interrupting).

Yard sign.
“Love Cats. Love Immigrants. Love Your Neighbor. “

Keep supporting good trouble. Keep spreading kindness. But also, get a good rest tonight. I took this photo at The National Cathedral.

Grow community and kindness! (Yes, yes, stay informed, call govt reps, check facts before sharing posts, be an ally.) But community is key! Join a book club, game night, or hiking group. Find a church, synagogue, temple… find a community that focuses on love. Image from a church retreat.

I think if my work inbox shows this message, I can take the afternoon off, right? 🤣

It was a great day. Limited my intake of news. Ate what made me happy (birthday calories do not count). Tried new beers. Danced to live music. Hugged some of my favorite humans. Thanked God several times. Great day. (Photo from a much sunnier and warmer day at the brewery we were at)

I’ve seen a few posts about great sermons. Yes! Find a church, synagogue, temple… find a community that focuses on love. Grow community and kindness!

Yes, I was dancing at the Y in between my strength sets. I can’t help it when my favorite dance song comes on. :)

Add more positive energy to this world. Hold a door open, say please and thank you, take an extra deep breath and be patient instead of honking your car horn ( I personally need to be reminded of this) . . . When given the opportunity, be kind.
