Tales from a Mid-Lifer

Reflections, observations, gratitude…

1. 1000% admiration for the Olympic athletes whose lives have been marked by self-discipline. The pursuit of excellence. 

2. Spent Galentine’s Day enjoying a wonderful lunch, followed by watching Pride and Prejudice with my daughter. 

3. Leaving the airport, I spotted a middle-age man walking outside to his driver – holding flowers. He grinned at the car and I craned my neck to see her reaction🥰. This touched my heart because he was the arrival, having carried the flowers during flight.

4. My youngest and I took a quick visit to Toronto, Canada. 

5. Completed my Bible in a Year, 2025. Read A Thousand Mornings by Mary Oliver and I’m still working through We Who Wrestle with God by Jordan Peterson. 

6. Thoroughly enjoyed the starkly contrasting TX and NY weather this month. I’m back in the Lone Star State until April. 

7. Went to the tailor with my son to get his wedding tux made. 

8. So thankful for God’s protection, provision, countless blessings…

9. I always appreciate and enjoy interesting conversations.  

10. Son-in-law surprised us with tickets to the Austin Symphony. The music – wonderful – and the nighttime city view from the venue – spectacular! 

Thank you for sharing your time with me today. May this first week of March be a great start to the month for you.
