Today was a full and meaningful day.

Maria is sick, perhaps the variant. I’m trying to raise $2,000 so the Mansion residents can rent a bus and get to the County Fair, I has a beautiful meditation class at the Mansion this morning – we talked about giving and receiving – and a small miracle, I got a new tooth to replace the one that was pulled out of me.

That’s a mouthful. First, I have a new tooth, a small miracle. I no longer have a missing tooth in the bottom of my mouth, I felt myself spitting a bit and looking raggedy.

 

Maria woke up feeling funky and was knocked out by lunchtime.  I’m doing the caretaking thing; I owe her big time and love her bigger.

I got a few offers from photo galleries to do a show of my flower photos and print and sell them. I said no, I like this just the way it is, I don’t need a gallery boss telling me what my photos ought to look like, and I don’t want to sell them. I’ve had more than enough marketers in my life telling me what to write.

I am flattered, honestly. But the photos are free to be used in any way that is helpful, useful, or comforting.

In meditation class, we talked about the dignity of giving and receiving. I’ll write about that tomorrow.
