There are no accidents.<br /><br />Mel -- Yes! The stoop date for one was really great! And the best part is that I did still get a little time to watch some television. I rewatched a movie called The Quiz Show on HBO which I loved just as much the second time around. Thanks for your kind words.<br /><br />Stace -- We do need those nights, don't we? Yep, it wouldn't be life if it was all sunshine. Like Frankie Beverly said so eloquently, "Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain." That song also says, "Where there's the flowers--there's the sun and the rain. . .oh and it's wonderful. . .they're both one and the same." (That is soooo on my mental iPod now!!) Here you go: http://youtu.be/msfHLxDTRtI <br /><br />Mary Alice -- It turns out that I have heard of Examen. This wonderful woman who reads my blog named Mary Alice taught me of it a few months back. :) I just went back to read about it again. I think it's a beautiful thing that I will try doing with more intention--thanks!<br /><br />Elizabeth -- You know how I feel about you. I hope that you, Sophie and your men all savor your weekend, too. By the way, I loved your post about talking to people with disabilities.

I'll second Anonymous above that you are an inspiration, and I always come here, read a bit and leave a better person.<br /><br />So, thank you for that! And I hope the rest of your weekend is as peaceful as your evening!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-25091009842486160372012-04-14T15:13:14.143-04:002012-04-14T15:13:14.143-04:00Sounds like you made wonderful use of your time al...Sounds like you made wonderful use of your time alone. Have you every heard of a prayer practice called the Examen? It is inspired by Ignatian spirituality and is practiced by an order of Catholic priests known as the Jesuits. (Society of Jesus)and by many other people. It is the practice of mentally going through the previous day and looking for where you experienced good or God or pain and praying about that. Google Examen and you will have a better explanation than I can give. This is a long way of saying I think that is just what you did!Mary Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358080186261021703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-45944541685377526752012-04-14T15:05:56.196-04:002012-04-14T15:05:56.196-04:00Sounds like a wonderful night.

I guess it wouldn't be life if it was perfect, but knowing how to focus on the positive while still taking what you can from negative moments is what makes it happy, I think. And you're a happy and beautiful person!! Happy Saturday!StaceSeniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11298888057695504986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-77422215674359022312012-04-14T13:17:25.084-04:002012-04-14T13:17:25.084-04:00Lovely, lovely post. I'm going to carry parts ...Lovely, lovely post. I'm going to carry parts of it around with me to ponder, especially the part about trying to just sit once in a while. I thinks to much, which often leads to worrying too much.<br />I always feel like a kid in a candy store with alone time. TV shows piling up on the DVR? One of my 200 unread books?? A bath? A nap? A chore? A project? Etc.<br /><br />The next time this quandry presents itself, I'm opening a nice bottle of red, grabbing a blanket and sitting on the stoop to stare at the stars. Thank you for that.<br /><br />Thanks also for the peek inside your heart and your home - your men folk are adorable - the picture of the salute is perfect.<br /><br />I hear you about the one negative comment. I have issues with negative feedback, it's a childhood issue I still wrangle. You took it like a champ, and turned it into something to learn from, even if the lesson is you can't please everyone.<br /><br />Happy Sabado to you too. We love each other to the moon and back here too. To infinity and beyond.<br />xoMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-21005138343809656142012-04-14T12:56:58.099-04:002012-04-14T12:56:58.099-04:00You are such an inspiration!

Sort of a long story~ but just wanted you to know your blog is awesome and I hope I am fortunate enough to run into educators such as yourself! Reflection is so powerful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
