what is this?

a place to give thanx. an opportunity to acknowledge how truly rich we are in this life. an invitation - to myself and to all of you bloggers/readers - to balance out life's energies. a reminder of all the joys of life, love, nature, humanity and the universe.

seeing so much pain, suffering, loss, illness and death has taught me the value of joy, satisfaction, health and life. so much swirls about us all that desperately needs fixing. that downright sucks. but so much swirls around us that radiates light, love, sweetness, joy, purity.

if we only open our eyes to these tiniest shards and shreds of existence, we expand our possibilities. and challenge ourselves in the process. sometimes its serious and deep, and sometimes, silly and inconsequential. but its all about le joie de vivre!

and that's what this blog exist to do. to generate positive energy and light. to erode that complacency that breeds apathy. its all so friable, lets treasure every little thing that brings joy! i don't pretend to have the market cornered on grace, so if you have something you wanna contribute here, email me and i will make you a contributor to joie de vivre.

water ... l'eau ... aqua ... wasser ... h2o

water. and lots of it. all around me. where i live. no rationing. or threats of shortage. no funky taste. no brown water. no iron smell. or unfriendly, pathogenic micro-organisms. just clean, fresh, nice tasting water. something so basic. so elemental. we take it for granted. but ... many around the world have little or none. and so, i'm thankful for .... WATER.

yeah ... like your pamphleteer ... d'ya still do that one? or is it takin' a break?

i will keep this one going. its fun doing. its some good energy and i think i need me some of that ... :D

not sure who hoss is ... but i replied to him/her/it ... just couldn't resist

i have been plagued with this gastrointestinal flu thingy for several days. basically i'm good until i ingest any food. then my gut revolts. in any number of ways, which you no doubt can imagine.

i was sad early in the week. but now not really. i wonder if this gut thing is my body taking on the sadness i hate feeling? know wat i mean? like, i wonder if... i believe that ... physical stuff is/can be a manifestation of shit going in in our minds and hearts ... ugh.

anyway ... not sure if that makes sense. sorry you are feeling sorta under the weather. sleep or do something that makes your heart happy.

be well my dear ...
