Breakfast with Sean

There are precious few people and things we can count on in this life. One is, the loyalty, and affection of dogs, cats, and other critters. Another thing I can bet my lunch money on... Each morning, when I check email, I'll have a message from Sean Dietrich. More about Sean here... https://seandietrich.com/page_id13/ Sean has fourteen books he has written, available on his website. I look forward to getting started on them... https://seandietrich.com/2032-2/ Sean is a writer of stories, singer of songs, and cheerleader for the uncheered for. He encourages untold numbers of souls. Sean's writing is from the heart, straightforward, and delivered with a healthy dose of Southern sarcasatic humor. His daily column in my inbox is one of life's small pleasures. Something to look forward to. It's right up there with Sunday afternoon naps, and the last bowl of cereal out of the box that has all the ...

The next two are from the bank. There are two cave openings. It was raining big drops that day. As the drops hit the water, the ripples were quickly carried downstream by the current. I was impressed with how fast they moved. This...

"S" is for...Hope...

In the 2013 Superman movie... Lois Lane asks Superman, "What 's the S stand for?, He replies, "It's not an S. On my world it means, Hope." The video clip from the movie... https://youtu.be/4CFrwHXYotI?si=27zs0ldWHup-mB4H It's not fair to call another person Superman. Then again, when that person brings so much Hope to others, maybe it is. My earlier Jeff Taylor stories are out there and searchable: https://rdside.blogspot.com/2018/12/22-jeff-taylor-stories-introduction.html Why another, why now? Fair question. Grief nudges us along on a journey we didn't choose, and leaves us at a different place. The trip can be blurry and fast, or, so slow you swear you aren't moving at all. With grief, comes an energy and restlesness. For me, it feels like a bad dance that I know neither the next steps, or recognize the music. We can't fix it. What do you do...
