That then sets the tone for how I think all day-my thinking seems to be more clear and less cluttered. I am trying to depend less on coffee...but am not even entertaining the thought of giving it up entirely!!!!

Lately I find that I genuinely care about people I talk with and mean the good things I say, but that certainly was not always true for me. Maybe we mellow and get out of ourselves more as we age. Maybe I'm starting to find myself a bit boring. Ha. I love this post and that you love your new home.

I started mine whimsically when I retired, and it's become just something I do with no clear intentions. <br /><br />I'd like to borrow/copy one of your pics, if I may. The one with the grandmom and the sign.....my 15 year old grandchild is what I believe my daughter calls 'gender queer', a wonderful, caring person whom I love a lot. I haven't been as good as she'd like using gender-neutral pronouns, old habits die hard I guess, feeble excuse. But I'm trying, I am. I was raised in rural Oregon, child to a bigoted mother, and what was typical 50's redneck attitudes. No idea how, but I somehow escaped without any of the racist or homophobic mindsets...they just didn't stick somehow.<br /><br />I haven't been to Ptown in years, but have some great memories from times spent there in the 70's. I live in a small town in Montana that suits me well, but what I wouldn't give for a basket of fried, large-bellied clams. <br /><br />I'll add your blog to those I read. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />MikeShould Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400586203204886095noreply@blogger.com
