Really appreciate the book links Kert, thanks! I have ordered books based on your recommendations and having these links to support the independent bookstores makes it even better ❤️

Having just discovered how to do that, it’s gonna be dangerous for my checking account. Promise me not to tell your sister. 😝

Being in the Now - helping with the Why of living is so powerful. Thank you for solidifying that thought for me.

And try to find some ways to laugh. Waking up this morning after last night, trying hard to find something to laugh out loud about.

Gonna have to find me some Robin Williams’ YouTube clips.

There is much to laugh about. I loved it when Biden mixed up Trump with Putin and said that Putin gave Trump the go-ahead to invade Ukraine. Last night's appearance by that gaunt and confused old zombie has certainly caused a stir. Will Hillary kill him and end the suspense in the Democrat Party?

I may write in the name Dave Chappelle on my November ballot. Under his leadership, Live, Laugh, and Love could be America's new motto.

I’ll make it two votes for Chappelle then. Thank you for your humor—it is so appreciated this morning!

I think we could start a collection of dish towels. We've had one for years, well-worn and still working, "Keep Calm and Carry On." Although it was a UK slogan designed to prop up morale in WWII, it is still a viable message for the ages. I can't share a picture here for some odd reason but I will post it in notes and a reference to yours that I adore.

What a lovely six month check-in post, Kert! Somebody recently posted a cartoon panel on Substack that I wish I had saved. Guy asks the owl, “why is happiness so elusive?“ The owl response, “because you look for in the future instead of the present.“

Thank you for your very kind mention, and right at the top of your article too! I’m honored. 🙏💚

LAWN-seen's Old Kitchen Towel Wisdom - Live, Laugh, Love! Two out of three isn't bad. None of them are easy, though. I'm working on the Be Here Now part. I enjoyed this, and the post from six months ago. Thanks, Kert!

I hear when one is in the close proximity of a new grandchild, all three are in abundance.
