Llama Llog — a view from the peak
Across the Miles...love to you too!
My brother, Miles, sent me a link to this story to start my day off on right paw. This is one of several versions of this video that I found that I could embed here, and I like the music choice! :-)
So, I hope this little story inspires you to add an extra Life Balance task to your day.... to get in touch with the people (and other sentient beings) who you love, and find a way to make them smile!
People of Earth, let's dance!
One of my friends out there in Llama Land, sent me a pointer to this wonderful "astronomy" video by Matt Harding and Melissa Nixon, courtesy of NASA's Picture of the Day web site, of "Happy People Dancing on Planet Earth" and I'm thinking, what a FANTASTIC IDEA!!
Personally, I am definitely happy to join in the universal snoopy dance, llama samba, or lindy hop! Wouldn't it be great to have more exuberant, joyful, kick up your heels and throw caution to the wind, dancing everywhere! Oh yes, I am ready to rhumba!
People of Earth, let's dance!

Yes, you can hear me now...
The Women: Four Generations of Our Women, meet on the Mountain to reconnect, and yes, there was croquet... a family tradition... this time, the course was set up in the woods...The women in my family decided that we needed to have a get together. No particular agenda, except that we were unwilling to drift along and with passing time, absentmindedly drift apart.
We are family. We all need our family faces to peer at for common expressions, crinkly smile lines, worry and pain, knowing glances and shades of meaning. There are family messages of support and understanding that must be done in person. Hugs must be delivered properly. Hands must be held. Cats must be herded. And we must stand shoulder to shoulder, at least for as long as it takes to capture the group photograph.
In our family, and I suspect in many others as well, the women are the glue that hold the whole darn domestic kit and kaboodle together. We are opinionated, strong minded, honest and intelligent, often loud, raucus and very funny, especially when we are all together.
"The Myth of Multi-tasking," the challenge for many is to read this excellent article in The New Atlantis without interruption
Christine Rosen, the senior editor of The New Atlantis and a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center has written one of the best articles on "The Myth of Multi-tasking" that I have read in some time. This article includes references to the latest neuroscience research, as well as thought provoking speculation on what the consequences of out-of-control multi-tasking might be for our society.
