Gracie is not a long term planner, or even a short term planner, not a planner at all really. My grandson is sleeping upstairs right now, safe in his crib. I just want everyone to be safe.My life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-8525317033361528722020-03-15T13:07:49.191-07:002020-03-15T13:07:49.191-07:00"...

Speaking of beauty of the spirit, there is Linda Sarsour's memoir of love and resistance and Lawrence Ferlinghetti's novel (published when he was 100 years old; he will be 101 years old on March 24, 2020) which I've been reading in the past few days.<br /><br />From what I gather, they both have a toolbox something like yours:<br /><br />"My proverbial toolbox includes a certain calm that is one part repressed hysteria, one part dark, dark humor, one part resignation, one part great understanding, one part compassion for all that is vulnerable, one part judgment for those that are selfish, one part joy for the ground and the air and the water and all that is green, and one part for the recognition that life and death are not at war but working together. (I confess: the dark sense of humor and the judgement for those that are selfish might each constitute two to three parts.)"<br /><br />My toolbox is similar. Thank you for reminding me to be grateful for my toolbox and for those who gave me my tools. Thank you especially for:<br /><br />"Life and death are not at war but working together."amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212213177713917828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-26409506321602738552020-03-15T12:20:48.967-07:002020-03-15T12:20:48.967-07:00Can I join the spoon line? 🥄 🥄 🥄 Try and think ...Can I join the spoon line? 🥄 🥄 🥄 Try and think of faraway friends at your back, as well as the real ones providing the warmth and support.
