When I wake up during the night I often remember bits of whatever I was dreaming at the time.
This morning it was my brain singing, “Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp. Brave, courageous and bold.”
Anyone want to guess why I was singing a theme song from a TV show from my childhood?
Because I don’t have a clue.

When I saw this photo of a clock my first thought was, are numbers just clutter?

I rarely post anything political but I’m pretty fed up with the current wrangling. I think Trump should not be paid for any of the shutdown time since he is, apparently, non-essential personnel.

And I’m ready to go.
Into a new year.
But, what is in my bag?
What packed itself into my bag without me noticing it?
Fear? Doubt? Anxiety?
What should I have packed instead?
Joy? Intentionality? Courage?
What’s in your bag?
TTYL,

The first time our daughter drove her semi-tractor cab to visit us she invited us to climb up into the cab to see where she lives most of the time. But first, she taught us about the 3-point stance. We each have two hands and two feet; at all times three of the four are to be anchored–either on the ground or step or holding a grab bar. For instance, if you are standing on a step, at least one hand has to be holding on. If you are lifting a foot, both hands have to be holding on. And so forth.
Today I discovered that, without even thinking about it, I use this 3-point stance system in our shower. The shower has a vertical grab bar at each side of the sliding glass doors and a horizontal grab bar at the back of the shower. I sit on a shower stool while showering. When I’m ready to get up I use two bars and both feet to keep me steady until I am firmly on my feet. Then I hold on while moving my feet, one at a time, to a new position. The I stand still while I transfer one hand at a time to new positions. My fear of falling in the shower is greatly reduce by using this 3-point stance system. Thanks, kid, for teaching me this.
TTYL,
Linda
