		<description><![CDATA[Today my mother gave me some good advice.
 She said, &#8220;If you no longer have any goals, then do your chores.&#8221;
There are always chores to be done.

But this does beg the question &#8230;

lyrics from R.E.M.:
Oh, life is bigger
It&#8217;s bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I&#8217;ve said too much
I set it up
(chorus)
That&#8217;s me in the corner
That&#8217;s me in the spotlight, I&#8217;m
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don&#8217;t know [...]]]></description>

Sometimes a purchased gift just isn&#8217;t enough to show how much you love someone &#8230; so I made this painting/collage for Dave&#8217;s anniversary present.  Embedded in the piece is my bluets poem and, if you look closely, a photo of the two of us!

Estas son las mañanitas, que cantaba el Rey David,
Hoy por ser día de tu santo, te las cantamos a ti,
Despierta, mi bien, despierta, mira que ya amaneció,
Ya los pajarillos cantan, la luna ya se metió.
Que linda está la mañana en que vengo a saludarte,
Venimos todos con gusto y placer a felicitarte,
Ya viene amaneciendo, [...]]]></description>

This morning Dave and I had the pleasure of accompanying our 7 year-old to a spotlight student of the month breakfast.  We shared a table with 1st grader, Shawn, who kept us entertained during the certificate presentation with his many out-loud, uncontrolled blurtings (despite our grown-up &#8220;shhh&#8217;s&#8221;) &#8230; the favorite of which was, &#8220;Did [...]]]></description>

Most women my age, and many younger, dye or color or highlight their hair so much so that no one knows how old anybody is these days.  Men, too, are forgoing graying temples (which used to be considered &#8220;distinguished&#8217;) in order to look younger.  I am re-reading Margart Craven&#8217;s  &#8220;I Heard the [...]]]></description>

KM died yesterday
at 2:00pm
while I was taking a nap
knowing I would wake up
in time
to pick up Lizzie at the bus stop
and, later, Rosie
Sarah Jane would text
to tell me when I was to get her.
My taxi duties feel like heaven today
thank you, God.
L&#8217;chayim!
