Get Ready for the Next Set
Everything life throws at you, whether good or bad, comes in waves. You never know when they’ll wash up on the shore or what they’ll leave behind.
Pack up, paddle out, get ready and surf’s up! :)
Stop, think.
We rarely stop and think about our instinctive responses. Everything just comes to us naturally. You never thought that this is not the way the world works best.
and from the stage I can tell that she can’t let go and she can’t relax and just before she hangs her head to cry I sing to her a lullaby, I sing

WatchMy yellow dream come true. My fortunate accident. My Little Island of Sanity. My Good Mood. My Partner in Crime: So young at 24, and still so much in the middle of figuring everything out. It’s been beautiful watching you change over time, shedding huge secrets, growing more and more confident, still clumsy but so much more sure of yourself.

But you are expecting that the result of a storm over the horizon, in another time zone, usually, days old, will radiate out in the form of waves. And eventually, when they show up, you turn around and ride that energy to the...
