Ready or not…..

Appreciating my life,  just as it is right now, and also being ready for openings, ideas and events that present themselves as opportunities for more Life, is how I want to live this one life that I've been given. I want to get up every day and say, "I am ready. I may not be…

Holy…….Is anyone watching the road?!!

I took this photograph while Jack was driving and Luke had put his head up front. I didn't see at the time, that Jack had his eyes closed. Jack is a "relaxed" driver. He looks around, fiddles with things (obviously he closes his eyes too, but I didn't realize this until yesterday!). In the past,…
