Dad has been on my mind this morning.
It is Black Jack's 12th Birthday. He's been a joy of the family!
I can't believe the Fall season is kicking in with September here already. It is definitely going to be a sensitive season for me, as I can recount vividly my father's declining health. Without working at the time... spent most days with his loud, bold presence. I remember writing a lot too, in which I can dig up somewhere and look back on.
I am finishing up CHICKEN SOUP: Think Positive book. The last section has been Gratitude stories... Boy do I have a lot to be thankful for! It seems to be never ending. I live a life full of blessings!
I wish I could write more but then I know my words and thoughts would get disjointed and I'd be rambling at this time.
Here is a quote I came across today that I would like to finish with:
"Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you." Lao Tzu

Friday Morning thoughts
It's Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States, September 15-October 15th. As much as I love the fall season, this celebrated occasion always tends to creep up on me. I was just thinking about this time, next year... I will be on my way to turning 26 years old! Time, can you please stand still? I will need to reach the age of 25, successfully!
I have been listening to my Pandora station devoted to the Gipsy Kings a lot lately... sparks the interest in finding some sense of identity. Where do I come from? I believe knowing or in in my case, finding your roots is very important, or should be valued well.
I had been washing dishes this morning, listening to Latino music, and thinking to myself... in the motherland, taking care of of the family and home - is still mostly the females responsabilidad, no? It seems to remind me of the 1950's America - conservative era, as the men would be out working towards putting a meal on the table. In retrospect, I could go outside and rake the fall leaves... which would be an act of love; familia responsabilidad.
As I was finishing up with the dishes, our cat, Euchre helped himself to his dish of food. Normally, we put the dish back on the counter from his previous meal time. Dad had left the dish out though, so as I saw Euchre come out into the kitchen, I remarked "Euchre... helping yourself!! I wish to do the same..."
Good Friday to you!
