We Love Lucy

We've had a strange week filled with muggy weather and thunderstorms.  Political rhetoric continues to dominate the television so we resort to reading or watching Netflix or Amazon Prime.  Perfect, especially when the weather obscures the satellite reception.

Fortunately Lucy does not mind thunderstorms at all.  But she really dislikes the muggy weather.  She's pretty quiet after her early morning run.  Can't blame her for that.  She spends a lot of time rearranging her pillows and looking out onto the deck and into the woods.

You look so serious, Lucy.  What's on your mind?

Just thinking about politics

Not such a good idea, dear Lucy.

I was doing some housework and didn't notice Lucy anywhere.  That's unusual, especially since my husband was upstairs.  I was a bit surprised to find her in the laundry room.  She frequently moves to tiled areas to cool off, but she was lying on a rug, not the tile.  The camera tripped the flash so you cannot tell, but the area is pretty dark.

 Why are you sitting here in the dark, Lucy?

 You were right about the politics thing, Mom.

It's pretty depressing.

I have no idea why Lucy suddenly decided to hide out in the laundry room.  Of course, she cares not a whit about politics or anything going on in the world that does not directly affect Lucy.  Companionship, exercise, petting, food and water.  That's pretty much it.  I do envy her sometimes.

Our Muslim friends will begin the holy month of Ramadan here in the United States on Tuesday.  (Yes, DJT, we do have Muslim friends.)

Our quote for today comes from one of my heroes, Eleanor Roosevelt:

Your ambition should be to get as much life out of living as you possibly can,
As much enjoyment, As much interest,
As much experience, As much understanding.
Not simply be what is generally called a "success."

And in the words of another of my heroes:

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND, EVERYONE.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD

AND HELP SOMEONE ELSE ALONG

 

With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.
