I was feeling melancholy this weekend. It is rare that i reflect on what ifs, but for some reason it was what if our twins had lived. I'd have two they'd have been 34 or 35 this year, depending on howuch longer i carried them. Most mother's day, I'm ok. This one..not so much. Maybe it is that my niece is expecting, or my oldest son appropriately spends time with his family.

This too will pass
 
Good morning! Happy Tuesday! We remember those for whom Mothers' Day is less than completely joyful, we think of those who are expecting. We gather round the Coffee Cart in spirit, with these thoughts as well as other thoughts in mind, to discuss, to support, to deepen our camaraderie, and to drink tea and coffee and enjoy fruit danishes. The pastries are warm from the bakery, tea water is boiling, coffee is freshbrewed. All is ready, all are welcome. Come in and join the fun!

Should we always honor thoughts before they go? Would they? Maybe because the Roman believed that thinking men were dangerous ... then blood lust evolved ... hockey and all other games of danger ... because the powers love to see you depart ... Ava 'r Iced ... like that thing up the mound ... kohl AH?

Pure dynamics of thermos nature ... then the myth of entropy ... the theory of disorder being flipped ... into something other ...

We can fix that! How? That's a profound question as it remains a myth ... respect them if nothing else! Great leaders respect nothing and thus consequences ...

Newton's Loss ...
 
What a nice day. We had lunch with old friends. It was a nice visit. Then we went to visit the friends who live in the park and said goodbye to them. We had supper with newer friends from our winter park. We've started getting our stuff together to be ready to leave tomorrow. We head home tomorrow. It will be nice to get home and we'll have a few busy days. Dog gets her stitches out on Thursday and I get bloodwork that day as well. We'll connect with the owner of the dog who attacked ours. Hopefully he means what he said when he said he wants to make things right. I get treatment on Friday. I anticipate a quiet weekend.
 
Good morning! We have made it to midweek. Those saying goodbye to friends, and sharing meals with friends old and new, medical tests and stitch removals, and all the other things on our minds, we gather in spirit round the Coffee Cart, to chat and support, to find community spirit, and to drink coffee, tea, and enjoy some scones. Scones are fresh from the oven, tea water is boiling, and coffee is ready. Come in when you can, and join the conversation! All is ready, and all are welcome!

Many of the good-bye's are ultimate as stress of life whisks them away in a sweep ... that strange wind! Quantum or just wayward?

In short ... we don't know ... what we really know for sure is ... well ripe for query! Is that alien?

It was Mother's Day when Carter had his first cardiac arrest. It's not exactly been the same for us since.

He'd have been 15. Last winter I coached his cohort in U16. By the end of the winter I told them a couple stories about him. The kids were very understanding.

They were still f***ing slow, though.

No, a few of them were doing really well. The girls were awesome, winning big races. The boys could have used an aggressive kid like Carter. There was a boy there by the name of Bryson who almost certainly would have been Carter's friend. Clever kid, great skier, just not as quick as you'd expect. I tried very hard to help him find his potential. Man, I want another crack at that.
 
Yes…hugs to both @JayneWonders amd @chansen. Certain dates trigger memories.

Today my middle kid is 37. And he and his family are very sick. He doesn’t want me around because if I got his cough it wouldn’t help the healing process. Considering delivering a cake and some oranges to leave at his door!
 
Sometimes i find its very good to live in the past and just take time to remember those we've lost....after all its often the only way to hear deceased loved ones names, and who they were, mentioned again. A different afterlife that we carry out through our memories.
 
I have an exhausting day planned for tomorrow. Neighbour next has dumpster. I have dog pen and dog house to dismantle and put in there. I have a young guy with a chainsaw to take out young trees, decimate ancient mock orange, etc. And a young woman to clean/do minor electrical work under supervision.
 
Busses here in South Korea are legally obliged to stop at bus stops. This morning, I had under an hour to go from one teaching location to another. So I got on the bus and rode until it just under a stop away from mine. Then I got up, pressed the button, walked to the back exit doors, and tapped my card. But the bus didn't stop at the bus stop! So I pressed the button again as we came to the next bus stop, but, again, the driver didn't stop!! So I shouted something like "Hey, stop the bus! Bus stop!" Only then did he. Needless to say, I was late for my teaching session
 
That does sound busy Bette.

We're in the line for the 8:15 ferry. We land on the other side at 10:15 then we have a half hour drive home. We have a vet appointment in the morning to get dog's stitches out. I have bloodwork after that. We'll be connecting with the owner of the dog who attacked our dog after 3. Then we'll go home and put our feet up.

It has been a nice drive to this point today. We got here in good time so we wandered around the nearby mall and I got a new raincoat. We got some chocolate at the Lindt store then had dinner.

We'll sleep well tonight I think.
