Hearing my girl excitedly tell me all the details of her day in Disney World. I'm so happy for her. :)

Mmmm... maybe some red wine. Just a small amount, of course. No more than that!

Laughter. Shared many laughs all day today. What a difference a day makes!

Painful days like this one. They make me appreciate the good ones.

Catching up with old friends.

Morning meditation. It really does make for a good day!

Being reminded that no matter the geographical location of a gathering with one or many others, the center is always in the same place -- in each of our souls.

And a second since today was spiritually moving for me... Hoʻoponopono.

Sharing my passion of running... even while spectating.

My daughter explaining how she appreciates peace and quiet, then experiencing it with her while we watched the deer roam around my back yard.

Hearing my girl commend a friend for his "clever thinking." The things that pop out of her mouth at times bring me smiles. Tonight was no exception.

The healing power of prayer.

Solitude after a busy few days. Ah.

Bob Sima's Periphery. Beautiful song and fantastic performer. God bless.

The best days are not planned
Spontaneous and hand in hand
The human touch felt and seen surely beats the tv screen

Real smiles they sneak up, her cheeks move to the sensing of my words
And the tiny little miracles are captured in the lines on her face

You can build your life on what tomorrow brings
And you complicate the simplest things
You can hold your eyes fixed on the prize and never see what’s in the periphery

Hand me downs and roll your own
The yard sales at the older homes
Where we got a table for a quarter and had ourselves a million dollar night
They say that true love, will never break your heart
It’s fully invested right from the start
It never shies away or looks for something better

Right there between the lines and the cracks in the floor and up on the dusty shelf
Is a photo and in the background is a little girl standing all by herself

The best days are not planned
Careless tracking of the slipping and ticking of the time
Ending with the most beautiful sunset ever seen

Sitting in a roomful of people who appreciate the wisdom in self-reflection and growth. I had the privilege of attending a lecture given by Marianne Williamson today which moved me. May God bless all and if I have been fortunate enough to have a relationship with you in some form or fashion, thank you. Namaste.

Budding trees and blossoming flowers along the Promenade.

Friends who are like family.

A quiet mind.

Seeing my girl's eyes sparkle when we were singing "Mommy, Mommy, Bo bommy, Banana Fana Fo Fommy, Mi My Mo Mommy, Mommy!" on the way home from school.

This part of the Serenity Prayer:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Cross-training in the form of helping a friend move. I wonder how many times I ascended and descended three flights of stairs today. Well worth it for the sake of genuine friendship.

Finishing up the week running 14 miles through the woods, for a total of 32 this week. Not too shabby.

Listening to my daughter read a book all the way through: Green Eggs and Ham. Wow. Pure joy.
