Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there, most especially to mine!!!!

Perspective

It's been raining off-and-on (mostly on) for the past 5 days or so. Like most ppl in the area, I was getting pretty fed up & frustrated by the rain, or more accurately, by the lack of sunshine. Until yesterday, that is.

During a brief let up in the rain, I got to play outside with 2 of my nephews, ages 4 and 2 yrs old. After watching the 2-year old splash thru the puddles with wild abandon, I suddenly didn't mind the rain quite so much.

Thankful Thursday Friday

A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.

This week, I'm thankful for having been blessed to know Frankie Manning for 20 years. It's not everyday you meet someone who truly changes your life. Frankie did that for me in January 1989. I wouldn't do what I do if it weren't for him.

My favorite comment about Frankie's passing was "We now have the answer to the age-old question, 'How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?' Answer: 2. Frankie & whomever he chooses as his partner. The rest of the angels will back off to give him room & watch."

This was a tribute put together by some local DC dancers. It only scratches the surface of what an incredible man he was and how much knowing him has meant to me.
