Aw, Shucks

What can I say? My brother Stan and I have learned how wonderful it is to have some close family bonds. As fate would have it, we were both in our 50's before the opportunity presented itself. If your family is available to you, don't take a moment for granted. Family people can be great mirrors whether you want to look or not.

Whenever he can come up here with Pat and M-dog it is always an occasion to celebrate (and motivation to clean house).

We plan day trips to the hills

and enticing dinners with wonderful fresh veggies, exotic cheeses and a crusty bread from the Sunflower Market, and a nice bottle or two of wine all of which they bring to contribute to the festivities. Thanks to his generosity, some of the rough edges of this old house have been polished.

Our mutual curiosity about how life works and how to be more masterful in creating the life you want has led us into many books and deep discussion of the philosophies therein. I am so grateful to have a good friend to explore the mysteries of life with, particularly from the Buddhist perspective and the Law of Attraction.

So touche, Stan. You are a very special part of my life also. Maybe one day we will be able to bring Phil and Becky into the fold so we can all embrace each other once again.
