I look at reflection in two ways. One, I find gazing at a reflection mirrored in quiet water to be a moment that is restful, tranquil, and peaceful for my spirit.

In Memory of Judy Scott

Appreciations 11.9.25
Remember that old song, “You’ve gotta dance like nobody’s watching?” This morning, I received a lengthy email from a dear friend.
