I lost my sense of smell and taste for quite sometime because of covid. It was a long recovery. I hope that you are doing better now. Much love to you.

Getting there Pennie!

My NOAA Weather App helps me contemplate the full meaning of “abundance.” So far this morning I’ve had an abundance of alerts! Severe thunderstorms, damaging winds, tornado watches, and more than a couple lightning strikes within one mile of wherever I was at the time.

What did this teach me about “abundance?” In that no alerts have led to harm (for me), I’m grateful! 🙏🏽

I’m about to peel a clementine! Also grateful. 🙏🏽

What’s the lesson here?

“Everything is either a gift or a lesson.”

~Rajesh Setty

What’s the lesson here? Why show up? Why bother? What’s the point? Where is it all going? Does what I do even matter? What difference could I ever possibly make? Does anyone care? Why should I care?

“Is there anyyyy-thing more energizing than the scent of citrus?!”

Hmmm? 🤔

A great question to continually ask ourselves. What can I learn from this? What’s trying to emerge?

Typist is a contributor. The Girls are contributors! The majority of Typist’s posts usually have a question mark. Why?

She’s encouraging us to think for ourselves and draw our own conclusions… 🤔

Be a contributor, not a guru. If you’re an expert, it’s ok to share your expertise, but explain that it was your experience and what worked for you might not work for someone else… Be humble.

Create frameworks for yourself and others to explore. Remember, it’s not about the answers we receive, it’s about the questions we ask…

Here’s something to think about… 🧐🤔

Does tomorrow ever really come?

When it arrives, what is it?

Everything is a "yes, and"? Measurements dependent on individual tastes and experiences?

I guess for Gary that is actually The Weather Channel? Glad you're okay, Gary!

Every time I think of questionable media reports, I remember a shot of a reporter canoeing on a city street. A guy comes walking by and the water level is barely above his ankles. How they were paddling the canoe is a mystery! 🤔

Vague memory (and it has to be a comedy, not news) of a guy rowing through flooded streets, meets another guy standing in water up to his shins. "So the water's not deep here?" asks boat-guy. Standing guy nods assent. Boat-guy gets out of boat on side opposite standing guy, goes into water over his head. Standing guy says, "Well, yeah, it's deep over THERE!" (Sounds like Benny Hill, actually.)
