Those were just the longings of a child who doesn't live here anymore

Friday, again. The weeks continue to fly...to think that this time last week I was getting off of a plane here at home. Strange.

Today I am trusting my intuition. I have been all week, really, and I absolutely believe in what it has been telling me. They haven't been easy lessons, but they've been important ones.

Today I am grateful for this amazing summer that we're having. We had one brutally hot day almost two weeks ago. Otherwise, it's been beautiful and I've even had little cause to run the air conditioning (often just for a few hours in the late afternoon). I've almost been afraid that by saying something we'll suddenly get dropped into the usual searing July/ August heat, but I'm too appreciative to maintain my silence.

Today I am inspired by the things that Daniel Pink has me thinking about as I read A Whole New Mind. I'm working through the chapter on symphony (ah, music!), having read and digested Design and Story. Fascinating stuff, really, and so fun to have actual exercises to reinforce my right brain.

Off for some quality dog time. Kita is sighing loudly, which always means that she wants something (probably a cookie).
