Alright, here we go...

Been listening lately to people close to me on high end grievance duty. Everyone is dumb. Nobody is competent. This doctor doesn't know squat.

I cannot imagine growing old, let alone being older than I am spending my days grievancing.

Set a low bar.
1/ Seriously. Set a low bar and you'll always be happy.

Give people the benefit of the doubt. Everyone has it tough. You're not alone.

Seriously, do you really think the whole world is conspiracy-ing to piss you off and deny you your due? What is your due anyway?

A short thread on perfect spring days and God's bounty of wildflowers after a cold winter.

55° and sunny this afternoon. Our Sunday afternoon walk in the woods always cheers us and prompts Thanksgiving.

Start with Spring Beauties. The range of color from white to pink - amazing Then wild Rue Anemone (my favorite). Same from pure white to a deep deep pink. They're so delicate.
