October 28--Blossoms!

You are built not to shrink down to less but to blossom into more.  --Oprah Winfrey

    I look at my 2-year-old and 6-week-old grandsons and ponder how their lives will blossom. Our whole purpose in earthly life is joy, expansion and freedom. With that as our guide, we cannot help but blossom into more.
    We are living on a gigantic playground! Don't be afraid to explore it. I have been to Europe, Asia, Africa, Central America, Canada, and most states in the U.S. Soon I will be adventuring in the South Pacific. I live by two mottoes: 1) I lead a charmed life, especially when traveling; and 2) it's bad business to kill tourists, so countries generally don't do that. So far, so good!
    Closer to home, all one needs to do to keep blossoming is to continue learning. Ten years ago I would have proclaimed, "I can't paint." Now it is one of my favorite hobbies. The internet tells me that pickleball was invented way back in 1965--look how that has flourished and enhanced lives, including mine. 
    Can we please do our blossoming with much greater respect and care for our precious Mother Earth!?!?
