Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

"It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!"---Rocky Balboa




     I'm sick and getting sicker, a rare occurrence....probably from lack of sleep and eating "differently" over the holidays. That'll teach me!  It is a turmeric tea, miso soup, and long hot bath with epsom salts kind of day.  I shall feel better presently.
     This is my excuse for lack of posts.  Plus winter is back, 8-10 inches of snow and frigid temps are on their way.
     I needed a Rocky quote today.  

     I spent the day reading "As You Wish, Inconceivable Tales From the Making of The Princess Bride" by Cary Elwes.  This is a wonderful book to read when sick, just as when Peter Falk as Grandfather read the original book to his sick grandson, Fred Savage.
 The end
The Grandson: Grandpa, maybe you could come over and read it again to me tomorrow. 
Grandpa: As you wish.
