Thanks, y’all!

grateful, satisfied people probably aren't activists. Unless they're, like the nicest people in the world.
I don’t know her inner life. But there’s a senior pastor at the church my sister and I have been going to who reminds me of my maternal grandmother. Silvery curls, petite, always with a smile. She seems grateful and satisfied (although it could just be the pastoral version of professionalism). Anyway, I found out recently that her bestie has a bail fund available for her, and that she’s exceedingly fond of what she and Rep. John Lewis called “good trouble.” I didn’t see her at the last No Kings protest, but there were hundreds of people there (and as mentioned above, she’s tiny). Anyway, it’s probably rare, but I guess it can happen.
I would say some people are like that, but a lot of us do it because we are restless. "I wear the cheese--it does not wear me."
Thank you all. I now have to somehow write an obit that captures my mother’s irreverent sense of humor (which is also mine). I got the right picture of her holding a giant zucchini! Right now it is bare bones because my uncle and I were asked what she liked to do and we were like “complain?” But she was even funny about that, I found a Whine Journal. after talking to her friends and Maria I have a little bit more to go on.
I am almost never around lately, but I love catching up when I can. This school year has been challenging, and we are officially in what we call the "hundred days of May." I will cross this finish line, but it ain't pretty.
Sophia, sending you so much love. I LOVE that you are adding humor to her obituary. It sounds perfect. Writing my dad's obituary (which I did mostly sitting by him in the hospital hospice room; he had long since lost consciousness) was oddly therapeutic for me. I hope it brought you solace, also.
Tep, yikes! I'm glad he's going to be okay, but that's a lot. Hang in there.
Hugs, Karl. I hope things stay better.
YAY, Calli!
It was a Miyazaki day here, I wish my friends could share the stress-cleansing breezes, blue sky, and sunshine.
I love this, Beverly.
Today we celebrate and send the happiest birthday wishes to Karl! I hope you are being spoiled today and that this year brings all you hope for and more.
For the record, today's Connections was just plain stupid and I don't even care that it broke my streak. So there.
Happy, Happy Birthday, Karl! May your year ahead have much joy in it.

It was, in fact, very stupid.
