Today I'm mourning the loss of life at MSU, our sister university in Lansing. So sad to lose 3 young collegians, with 5 more in critical condition with gunshot wounds. Your post today was balm for my soul and a reminder to take a deep breath. We must tackle guns, but first we must honor the lives of these 8 innocent students.

A blessing in disguise. Glad you and Hudson took time to enjoy the walk. Words can wait. This is part of balance.

Your writing, even when glitched, is always appreciated and needed. Glad you and Hudson got a nice break.

"Mama said there'd be days like this," though in your case we should say, "Ma," right? Unfortunately, I had just gifted 6 of my friends with a month subscription, so today is probably their first taste of "Status Kuo." Oh, well, my Mom said the same thing. Fortunately, my friends are very understanding (one of my main criteria for friendship), and I'm sure they will be dazzled by your usual brilliance tomorrow.

YES, Jay, this is so important. Savor the time you can't be typing on the keyboard for whatever convoluted reason :-) Glad you and your pup enjoyed sitting still for a moment and taking everything in. You surely deserve it. Thank you for all you do for us.

The pastor at the divorce support group I used to attend said always make a point of finding something beautiful throughout the day each and every day. Take the moment. Acknowledge it.

Good for you for taking time to enjoy the moment with Hudson and nature! There is nothing wrong with adapting and being flexible when circumstances dictate it!

They call it “ found time.” It is precious as gold.

Better to be mellow than stressed! A lesson that’s been hard to learn.
