August 2--How Silly Can You Be?

Be silly. Be honest. Be kind.  --Ralph Waldo Emerson

    There is a lot of that going on here. How can you help being silly playing miniature golf or Rummikub, or leaping in big waves? I believe the amount of silliness one can express is in direct proportion to one's self-acceptance. Likewise, this is true for honesty and kindness. 
    The large blended family (with seven adult children with some spouses and kids) that owns the condo where we are staying invited us over to their giant home on the inner waterway last night. The condition for our pizza supper was that the four of us do a three-pizza taste test and vote for our favorite. Surprisingly, three of the four of us picked the same favorite, which made us big heroes and earned us additional pizza and salad. It was all silly, honest and kind!
    The humidity here has hit epic proportions, and without a breeze, I feel like I'm back in Kansas. I certainly do appreciate the chilly ocean water for cooling off. 
    Our last day on the beach...
