Last night there was a heavy downpour while dozens of high school graduates drove past our house on the way to some sort of unofficial “celebration.”
I was grateful one of their vehicles didn’t accidentally get onto my freshly mowed lawn. It was too stormy to see if any police arrived. At some point they all begin to exit, clogging the street with at least 20 cars. Someone could have gotten hurt.

Going in the opposite direction (as a writer), I happened on some great quotes from Thaddeus Golas. Here is the first one I read: “Whatever you are doing, love yourself for doing it. Whatever you are feeling, love yourself for feeling it.”

So to change up a song just a bit, “Gotta lot of lovin’ to do.”

This Sunday morning is clear and beautiful. I picked up my almost new phone and saw that it was alarmingly low. I thought I had plugged it in correctly last night. Gotta love myself for that, too!
