It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new.
But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.
There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

Just A Note
To my friends who write and call to check if I am alright,
Yes, thank you..I am fine ,staying home and "socially distant".bored,boring and irritable.
When this is over,I might be living out in the woods with my little friends...although my gorgeous old Merlin cat has a low opinion of raccoons.
So does the cr*ppy neighbor who keeps an eagle eye out for anything I might do that she can report me for...ho hum,cursed with the most boring twit living a few feet from my house.
I would rather have the raccoons ...
Stay well,stay safe,stay in touch...Un grande besito

Thank You to the Firemen
I am limping because I bruised the arch of my foot.
I'm going to be a lazy baby and do nothing all day..I did enough last night.
Sounds interesting but No Fun was had..
Unless you're a fireman .......a very bored fireman.
The condo that I live in is built like a loft,sort of.
Very nice, I really like it.
Until a faulty smoke detector goes off.
Then the swinging a broom at it technique does no good,no ladder is high enough and then the
Fire trucks show up.
Pause:
Ever notice how handsome Firemen are?
So they came in, calling me M'am and checked out the entire house then left.
Oh yes,a couple of terrified cats got some attention and one of them (cats) decided she would like to sit in a firemans lap every day.
Those poor guys,they don't get paid enough!
Although that little cat might not have a bad idea.
No fire no damage All Is Well..
Thank you Bartram Firemen!!

Highlanders and all....
Across the street from my house, when I lived in New York,there was a rickety looking big old barn.
The field where the barn was located was pretty,rolling hills and sheep dotting those hills, it was always quiet.
I was in the barn once and got to listen to a new baby lamb ....barely walking,all wobbly and tiny and fussing for mama to feed him.
Also in the barn were the Highlanders.
I grew up in the South and cattle and horses were ordinary sights but a big old barn full of sheep..Highland cattle and 1 little baby Highlander calf just grabbed me..
The sounds, sights and scents,were familiar but as an adult with no one expected to yell at me to get away from those smelly animals! I could stay there as long as I wanted..
I don't want to live on a farm but after living in such a totally opposite sort of location and atmosphere,as I am now,... I realize how charmed I was, by the familiar yet totally different.. I think I might like being there again.
