Also fell for Poetry:

Reconnecting on today's social media platforms are the BEST!
They AFFIRM you haven't (totally) lost your mind
when you blog silly shit.
Or..maybe you have but they have right along with you!

Hence my beloved friend from grade thru high school, Claudia
commenting on my earlier post this morning...



I love this link for finding reconnections
and I love finding old friends...

This is the best ever!

After Jack

* * * * *

Don't get me wrong.
It's not that women don't like to keep up with their
persona.
Actually, it matters to them all the time.
We were brainwashed and we can't help it.
Whether we're naturalists or makeup artists,
we still care very much about how we look.

But there's something about winter,
hibernating, sweats and fleece -
and being single that says we don't have to
get a PEDICURE and we don't have to SHAVE.




So there you have it.
Words to live by - per Sylvia!

Now go rest easy!!!

Climber Jim Prager pauses to contemplate the sunset view of Forbidden Peak from high on Eldorado Peak, in the heart of North Cascades National Park, Washington.

"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.
Comes into us at midnight very clean.
It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands.
It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday."
