I LOVE ROOMBA!

I can't begin to tell you how much I love my Roomba vacuum. It is amazing! It does it's vacuuming then finds its way back to the docking station to recharge! (I'm sure there is a lesson in that for us....know when you are running low and give yourself time to recharge.) I love how I can just turn it on and go on with other things that I need to do and it's not so loud like the big Dyson so I can even turn it on when someone is sleeping in another room.

Gratitude for Life

"In the past few years, I have come to believe that you truly manifest your own reality. Positive energy breeds positive energy and if we continue to recruit positive we can outnumber and overtake the negative. Everyday I continue to strive to grow and learn as a person and struggle to keep my ego in check. Along the way it's important to remember to deeply love and forgive yourself, stay humble and take responsibility for your own life and live it, love it... passionately and furiously."
- Aimee Moss
Yesterday I saw it so clearly exhibited that if I can muster up even the smallest bit of gratitude in a situation that my perspective on things will begin to change. As I heard Eddie Hilburn say last weekend, "Sometimes you have to retag your memories to get unstuck."

The Weekends

Visitor

by Diane Sher Lutovich

The daughter drops in from her college world,

not to reclaim her place

in the orbit of home

but to etch her presence,

spread energy and socks

like uncorked champagne.

It will be this way....

She roams, makes sure we know...

a shoe in one room,

purse in another,

sweaters spill into the hall--

uncontrollable.

Always.

One day she collects her art book, makeup, disappears.

But after she's leapt back to her life,

her voice bounces off walls,

shoes seem to creep out

from under the beds,

breath lingers in dust

wrapped around sun.

I love it when you are home on the weekends, Victoria Leigh!
