Today my wonderful husband and I celebrate our 15th year as husband and wife. Good stuff. Amazing if you consider I never wanted to get married. Fortunately, I wasn’t in charge . . .

I’m a military brat of sorts. Another day to pause in my play to remember those that keep me safe. I appreciate their resolve, certainty, and sacrifice.

Tree Hugger Alert

The world is nuts. Don’t take my word for it, ask others.

Too many situations where we see only the forest, but each of us is a living, bug-infested, bird-hosting, four-seasonal, sun-drenched, water-starved tree. Unique. Often sturdy, bendable, shady, shedding, bending, growing, or dying.

Do yourself a favor. Hug another tree.
