With Love
OK. My mom’s health is not in crisis mode at the moment…and my sister and I are now established as the point of contact/communication between her (and dad) and the medical establishment…so it looks like the situation is under control and manageable…for the time being.
But I still don’t have the energy for a full post today. Instead, I offer this recent photo, in her honor.
You’re beautiful, Mom.
I love you.

Loving the Plateau
Today’s quote comes from a sweet little gem of a book, Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment, by George Leonard. (recommended by Phillip Moffitt)
“Goals and contingencies are important. But they exist in the future and the past, beyond the pale of the sensory realm. Practice, the path of mastery, exists only in the present. You can see it, hear it, smell it, feel it. To love the plateau is to love the eternal now, to enjoy the inevitable spurts of progress and the fruits of accomplishment, then serenely to accept the new plateau that waits just beyond them. To love the plateau is to love what is most essential and enduring in your life.“
