Daily Graces Return #110

I sure do miss the variety and abundance of my California roses! This is one of just a couple of photos that must have been on my phone so did not get burned up. Nothing so lovely as a rose!

Santa Fe Door 1

Spent a few days in lovely Santa Fe being inspired. The “1000 Year Event” of a wild flash flood gave us a few scary moments as we had to drive back to our hotel after dinner. We were grateful we hadn’t walked to the restaurant!

Although I have felt the first sentiments many times since last October 8, I felt it was a bit too depressing to leave on its own as a post so added the next one as well. It is important to acknowledge negative feelings rather than squelching them, and one of my pet peeves is to be told to “think positive.” That just annoys rather than inspires one to “feel better.”

Spent a blustery birthday yesterday listening to winds howl and hearing about multiple wildfires erupting in towns around us. For those who know we lost our home in CA to wildfire last October, this made for a harrowing birthday. Was at least able to enjoy a nice dinner out with family. So today’s message has to do with hope because without it I would not be able to cope with all of the events of the past six months.
