Another 2! The #OldGal got a 3! It truly is better to be lucky than good.

I’m grateful she still likes me.

I am now really considering simply moving everything to micro.blog a total consolidation to @dan@social.danielmrose.com, though with the consolidation it would likely mean dropping the “social” bit. Which would require a re-following by everyone. Hmmm…

The coffee and the beach and the extra sleep helped me halve the score of the #OldGal! The #YoungPups have another resounding victory.

Good morning! May you know in the midst of your humanity that within you resides the image of the divine. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

Do you agree with Eckhart Tolle here? I am curious what people think about this. Is there always a lesson?

Whenever something negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it.

I love this place. Every time we come here, I never want to leave. #grateful 📷

This made me chuckle a bit too hard.

I’m so thankful to have been able to share our “happy place” with my mom this week. Dennis and Jeanne, Amy’s folks, are such kind and gracious hosts.

Mom wanted to do one thing for while she was here, to put her toes in the ocean. So we took care of that this afternoon under a beautiful Panama City Beach sky.

To my knowledge Russell never learned that to defeat fear it took perfect love.

Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. Bertrand Russell, British philosopher and logician (1872–1970)

A year ago today we experienced what too many parents have experienced over the last number of years. The panicked phone call of our daughter barricaded and hiding in her dorm room as an active shooter rampaged and killed indiscriminately on her campus.

The fear mixed with rage and love is something that I wish on no parent.

The beauty of a mobilized and loving community at home and at her campus is something that I hope everyone gets to experience in their lives at some point.

Out of tragedy an unspeakable grief and undeniable love are somehow intermingled.

Perhaps, this is truly what grace is.

A year later the wounds still bring easy tears and knots in throats. A year later the thankfulness of a daughter spared from an evil hand still overwhelms.

Good morning! May you not miss the forest for the trees today. #MorningBlessing #MorningMug

The #OldGal got a 5! I think it’s due to us taking her to a movie and rotting her brain last night.

Whew! This is a quote…

The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of.
