Good morning. ☕☕☕

I have my feet up on my desk and keyboard in my lap. Charlie often adds his nose to my lap as well while I'm trying to type. He's spoiled, but right now he is being good and is curled up on the left side of my chair. I need a coffee refill, but don't want to spoil his peacefulness by moving.

When I read, I prefer hardback books. They feel substantial, and the print is usually larger. Have you read any of the books by Carl Hiaasen? I recommend them, they are hilarious. The language can sometimes be a little ... uh ... not suitable for Childrens story time but they are good. The first one of his books that I read was Razor Girl ... heh heh, ...I actually read it a couple of times.

“Sunset on the water ought to be a quiet and easy time, but I guess some people can't stand a little silence.” - Carl Hiaasen

Good morning. 🕊️🕊️🕊️

It's Memorial Day in the United States and a lot of people have the day off. I like to kid around and say that I have a long weekend, but now-a-days, all of my weekends are seven-day weekends. Unless you count what I'm doing right now as work.

My office window faces west and I keep the shades open in the morning. The morning light is just now starting to illuminate the yard outside, it's peaceful. Peacefulness is a state that I cherish. As some of you know, I sometimes just sit outside and watch the clouds pass and the forest just be green.

“A balanced inner calmness radiates from a peaceful center. It neither craves others' approval nor rejects others' presence. It neither pulls towards nor pushes away. It has a reverent attitude towards life and all its inhabitants.” - Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

Peace ✌🏽

is not only the synonym of harmony, security and well-being, but also a product of equality and non-discrimination.

Peace, as we understand it, simply cannot exist if we exclude the welfare of women and girls, who comprise half of the world's population.
