Lesson 522:

It's the weekend, Readers--

and no,

I did not forget the Lesson 522 blog title.

We're just leaving the title blank tonight,

because that's about how I feel.

I had some other plans for this blog-

but with the Valentine's Day shooting in a Florida high school,

none seem appropriate.

We did lots of fun things this week,

but all seem like a distant memory since the tragedy.

Bingo

Ball games

The Winter Olympics

Valentine's Day

I think I speak for most of us when I state

that my thoughts drift to Florida--

scared students,

terrified teachers,

parents in absolute agony.

It's time to work together to solve the problem.

.

When I find myself restless in thought,

agitated,

and aching of heart,

I always turn to my go-to--

Pinterest.

I love scrolling through Pinterest,

I have so many interests that the perfectly varied nature

of it just takes my mind off my concerns,

and fills in some of the blankness 

with love.

I think I'd like to go here--

it's in Yosemite.

I determined this week that I really do like animals

more than I like people.

I also like music a lot.

I found a really great song about women

by Dierks Bentley--

Woman, Amen.

Check out the video at the bottom of this blog.

It's a great tune.

Life is short,

no matter how many days you have here--

so find the woman in your life that means something to you--

your significant other,

your sister,

your Momma,

aunt,

grandma,

next door neighbor,

teacher,

pastor.

Find that special person and tell them you love them.

Fill in your blank spots with love.

Goodnight, Readers--

turning in early tonight to surf some more Pinterest.
