There’s nothing more glorious than to greet a morning that’s filled with sunshine blasting through the windows!

Around 4:00 AM, during a bathroom break, the dark morning was filled with fog. I wanted to step outside to take photos, but I knew that as soon as I made any attempt to do so, The Quartet would take that as their cue to start the day, full speed, ahead! Well, let me rephrase that: Bailey and Harrigan would have taken that as their cue to rouse the others as Erma hangs on to every bit of sleep she can and Chief, unless he senses another dog in his area, is seldom moved to stir for any other reason.

It’s going on 10:00 AM and I have busied myself with reading and watching a few documentaries.

I am going to venture out to Big Lots and maybe, Target, to check out a few things. I may even grab something to eat on the south end of town.

I’ve only today and tomorrow left of my Fifth Week studio break and this Sunday begins the summer schedule, only lasting up to August. It’s only two months of a summer schedule but it affords students different options as they plug in their summer activities.

This morning, Facebook sent me a photo memory from eleven years ago: Logan and Flyer. Both were loved beyond The Haasienda; 57 friends and former students came to see Flyer as she prepared to pass, several driving three hours from northwestern Ohio where they were attending college. Ahhh… that’s a lot of blessings!

Make your own kind of sunshine, even when it rains, and make it a great day!
