I was reading Mary Oliver this am. and love her simple reminders of being in the moment. I think you introduced me to her.

You look the same as you did 31 years ago, young slim face, petite, nice legs. I feel so happy for you. I love these photos of sky, wild sky, clouds, water, and then trees, culminating in the Tea Tree photo.
