lighter notes?

lighter notes?

I watched a bird utilize our bird bath today, both in drinking from it and bathing in it. That made me smile.

I sat down to play our piano today, avoiding the high B and C, both badly out of tune. I played and sang one of my songs. It was nice. I looked out the window while I was doing that. My song felt good under my hands. I sang and played to God, no one else. I hope that made Him smile.

Dixie is cleaning windows today. I did my best to help with the outside upstairs, stopping only at climbing the ladder high enough to get on the roof. No thank you. It's amazing how different I feel about getting on the roof at 46 as opposed to 26. It's like a whole different thing. Weird. I did help some inside too. She is doing an amazing job, and we are all going to enjoy looking out of these clear windows. Awesome.

I was thinking yesterday about how my decades have gone so far. Here's kind of the rundown I arrived at:
0's - whatever
10's - hook, line, and sinker
20's - reject everything
30's - know everything / always right
40's - pretty sure i know almost nothing

For 50's and up, I'm looking forward to more adventure, but I hope that I just start smiling a lot and letting people know I love them.

I listened to 3 Steely Dan "albums" today. I say that because that is what we used to call them back in the day. When the cool, soothing sounds of "Aja" came on, I could literally smell vinyl. What a pleasant memory. Some of you know what I mean, don't you?

Love to you,
