| 'Mr Fly' even comes to Cape Ann MA ~ for I Heart Macro2 link Weather on Cape Ann MA has been a bit of paradise for the past few days. It is New England so 'just wait a minute'; it can change very quickly. Sound like a metaphor for life? Each moment, each day is new; twenty four hours of time and I am learning to relax and play. What a 'trip'! Like most I was reared to achieve and slowing down is a new lesson for me ~ ah, my mantras have become, 'letting go', 'let it be' and 'grateful'. I don't always listen to myself. Do you?

Yes, paradise indeed!!

Beautiful photos, I love seeing your puppy's sweet face, makes me smile. Learning to slow down still presents a bit of a challenge for me as well. We've just become more selective of what we focus on. Cheers to you and have a blessed weekend. You have wonderful talent and advice. I look forward to your posts. Hugs. Pam
