Flaming June

I love this painting. It is by Frederick Lord Leighton. I have a wonderful poster of it. Seems that June likes to nap...and I can most definitely confirm it. Ten top reasons to take a nap include:
1. You Just Feel Like It
2. You need a break from the...well...insanity
3. You have a headache....and need a break from the...insanity
4. Your body parts are MORE tired than you could ever imagine possible
5. It's Sunday afternoon and you have a GREAT book to read
6. It's Saturday afternoon and you're watching cable
7. You've just got done mowing, seeding and weeding the north and south 1/4 acre (flower beds included...personally, I think there must be a demon behind the whole flower bed thing....I mean, come ON...who invented WEEDS???)
8. You just finished a metric century on your bike (and the usual post ride brew)
9. You've had a series of managerial challenges in the last 48 hours (or 24 or 96-doesn't matter...it's the challenge that counts!)
10. You Just Feel Like It

Sleep tight!

Birthday Month

In the words of my best friend, Cindy...October 1 marks the beginning of Birthday Month! But being a Libra, I include both September and November in my 12 weeks of celebration! One can never celebrate life too much. And this IS a FACT.

While I haven't gotten any inspirational vibes just yet, I have to say, the older I get, the better life gets...the first part was hard, the second part was hard, and this part, well, it's hard too. It's just that, after forty, you start laughing at yourself a whole lot more than when you were twenty or thirty something. Somehow, you begin to see, that there's a time to be serious, but it's not ALL the time. Mostly, I'm just glad when I can get through a day without someone giving me a catalogue of complaints (mainly about me!).

Side on up my good buds, October is your friend, and of course, the best month in which to enjoy the fruits of the harvest! Or something like that....
