Long Ago Hurricane Cleanup Sights Southern Baptist Disaster Volunteers Found in Pensacola Fl 2004

Andrew Weil ... I agree.... do you blog reader?

...In describing my own experiences of depression, I wrote that I thought the intense introspection associated with them was somehow a source of inspiration. I felt that going inward so deeply, even in such negative moods, allowed me access to creative energy otherwise out of reach.

NOT Welcome Back to School To All My Retired Teacher Buddies

As I was driving down the road today on a beautiful sunny warm day in the middle of the afternoon I noticed a school message out front of a nearby school on their signboard ....
" Welcome back to school Orientation today.."

And I thought to myself...I'm going home later and Facebook this:::: Here's a NOT welcome back to school message to all my dear retired teacher Facebook buddies who loved teaching but also love retirement!!!!  :)

Thinking of You Texas Sunday When I Took this Pic

But it wasn't until I loaded this pic on my computer that I saw "beyond" ...I then saw the gator symbolizing the dangers you and all of us face here on earth...the handicap sign symbolizing the handicaps we face as we age here on earth. ...BUT ...  The Cross symbolizes  what gets us through the rough times here on earth.
