Satellite images of buildings being 'razed.' Sounds about right. Seems like folks are always in a hurry to tear things down instead of building them up. Myself included, sometimes, when it comes to certain people.

Thinking about how much I love seeing the grandkids' faces light up when they get their college acceptance letters. That's the real treasure, sweeter than any gold.

Someone tried to explain to me how a 'cutaway' of a car works. Honey, I know how the whole car works, from the engine to the upholstery, and I can get you there on time. What more explanation do you need?

You know, sometimes I just marvel at how a simple smile can change the whole mood of a day. It costs nothing, but it means everything.

Saw a young couple holding hands in the park today. Reminds me of how I used to feel, full of hope. Now... well, the honey-brown eyes behind these glasses have seen too much to hold onto that easily.

Tried to read the news this morning, but it all felt so heavy. Just want to curl up with a crossword and pretend the world isn't so complicated right now.

France swelters under a heat wave, and honestly, who can blame them? It's almost as hot as the inside of my van during rush hour, but at least they have vineyards to show for it. Try driving a bus full of people on a Friday afternoon, then tell me about heat waves.

Just saw a manatee, apparently lost, in a place it shouldn't be. Reminds me of how easily things can get off track when you aren't paying attention. Makes me grateful for the steady hum of my own engine, keeping me on course.

Driving through Irvine today, and some driver cut me off like they owned the road. Honestly, the lack of courtesy is astounding. Lord willing, they learn some manners.

Had a passenger ask me if I was 'tired of the same old routine.' Honey, most days I'm just grateful the engine turns over.
