• So loved the south end of the trail this morning. The lovely chorus of meadowlarks was such a lift to my soul.

| Pretty Penstemon Palmeri |
• Also noticed these wildflowers. (At first thought they might be pretty blooming weeds, but no, they're indigenous wildflowers. How fun!)
• Haven't been able to get this out of my mind. Went to a meeting - the speaker mentioned that she saved all the thank you cards she receives. Pulled out a book about 4" thick so she could refer to a couple of them. Little (invisible) bubbles popped up over the heads of every person in the room: "Wow, she must do a lot of nice things for people." She probably does. I posit that everyone else in the room does likewise. Decided I prefer to let the angels keep track of those good things. Lots of good deeds go without the earthly reward of a thank you note. Doesn't matter. What matters is the good that is done. The result: I decided that I must be more diligent in sending thank you notes to people who dispense good deeds/words my direction. So they know how important their kindness to me is.
• Having a full-glass front door can be problematic. Did something I don't recall ever doing before: didn't answer the door. Went in response to the doorbell (of course, it was dinnertime). Noticed the stranger/salesman standing there in spite of the bright red "NO SOLICITING" sign on the glass. Decided to let The Husband answer the door so I turned around without opening the door. Guess the stranger/salesman got the message, he trudged on before The Husband managed to get there. So, perhaps having the full-glass front door was actually a blessing in this instance. Saved me from grief.
• Spent the day at home. Reading, cooking, sewing, giving and receiving hugs (The Husband - so glad he's home!) and generally enjoying being here.
Today's quote worth pondering:
"My pain may be the reason for somebody's laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain." --Charlie Chaplin
