Oh My Gosh Sweetie... Thanks heavens you are safe. This is some serious rain that you all had. Here in Phoenix, we are praying for a few sprinkles and you all have more than you know what to do with. There is never pleasing us all is there?
I will be keeping you in my prayers for no more rain or you all may have to start building an Arc sweet friend.
I must say I did wonder about you and I am so glad you remained safe and sound. We had a bunch here, but not like that. Just enough to help our dry spell. Now we are close to water restrictions again. What weird weather in the world.
When I started this blog in October 2007, there was a story here about my connection to "Tilting With Windmills". Much of what was in that post no longer applies. Much other of it still does. So, here's the story.
When I was graduating from high school, more than 40 years ago, a group of my friend presented me with a print of Picasso's Don Quixote. They said it reminded me of them.
I get upset when things are wrong, even though getting upset cannot fix them. I dislike people who are cruel or petty or self-serving, and am frustrated that I cannot change them. I fight a daily battle with my health, although I know that every new day is another battle. I have a husband and close friends who support me, even when what I want or believe seems crazy.
So, the comparison with Don Quixote is perhaps an apt one. The story encourages me to take on the battles I see, even the hopeless ones. It reminds me to try to see the best in people. It comforts me that, in the end, even if my actions are futile, they are not meaningless.
I mean to try to continue "to dream the impossible dream".
