The characteristic human trait is not awareness but conformity, and the characteristic result is religious warfare. Other animals fight for territory or food; but, uniquely in the animal kingdom, human beings fight for their 'beliefs.'

Michael Crichton

The joy of an ordinary life cannot be overstated.

Popsicles at the pool.

Walks to the park.

Taking a nap in the sun.

Playing cards with the kids.

Sharing stories at the dinner table.

You have no idea how beautiful life can be when you truly embrace the ordinary the mundane and the everyday.

Morning Nostriches!

Sadly I cannot say it’s a ‘good morning’.

My brother is out of coma but it’s not looking good.

It’s looking very likely that he has brain damage, we are beyond devastated at this time.

Life is very precious and takes crazy turns, hug your loved ones tightly and tell them you love them.

I sincerely thank this amazing community for their love, messages and thoughts.

I’ve felt more love from people here than I have ever had via FB or Insta.

Although this region is lovely(pic)it’s quite a remote area.

Cooler temperatures than last week. 🌞

Persistence Pays! Prove me wrong!

Sometimes I wish I was more deluded.

Seeing reality in the cold light of day is often discouraging.

I love mantids, and have never seen one like that before! Great pics!

Oof

Trust your gut.

And don’t apologize for it.

Never thought of it this way but kids have a hard time sleeping if they didn’t run around during the day and adults have a hard time sleeping if they don’t feel exhausted 😴 🤔

Maybe we just all need to feel exhausted to sleep well. Or am I oversimplifying it? Tired parents seem to confirm this.
