The Unexpected Text.

Oregon Coast

This morning after an intense yoga meditation session I received a text message from a very, dear friend. I don't hear from this person very often. He truly is one of the most genuine people I know so when I received the following text I burst into tears.

You have been an enrichment in my life Nubian, my friend and sister. 

There is no gift or bouquet of flowers that could ever compare to the power of a kind word. It costs nothing and the value is immeasurable. It is a text, along with a few others, that is now locked on my phone that I will read when the world around me seems a little darker. 

Thinking Out Loud.

Wouldn't it be better in text language to abbreviate the word come to cme instead of cum? 

Noticing more in the blog world that people are adding PayPal to their blogs and asking for donations.  Did pan handling just go viral?

Lots of people bitching about the rain, snow etc.  Do you think that this summer when they are out on the lake or watering their yards or taking a long shower they will remember?

I wish people would look in their own community to help than joining a cause on Facebook that is in another country and in which we have no control over.  Isn't there a saying 'Charity begins at home'?
 
Discovered a new wine estate yesterday.  Namaste Vineyards.  How appropriate don't you think?
