Brrr. Seagulls are so tough.
Aren’t they though! And they just keep coming…
Diversity is the key to survival.
Wow, DK, the tactility of that surface is to die for, and doing my best to maintain my sense of hope and optimism. Happy Friday!! 🙂
Yes! Me too Lori. Have a good weekend.
Phew. Am I alone in wondering where David’s post was this morning? I’m new to the posts, but I am so used to drinking my coffee while seeing your photos, reading your quotes and musing over your musings, David. Thank you… I had almost lost heart! 🙂
Laughing. You are so kind Daniel. Thank you. Have a good weekend.
Maaaarvellous!
Well worth reading Clarissa’s whole post, too. …I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is — we were made for these times.
Aren’t we truly amazing, all of us, in our will and disposition to Simply Not Lose Heart in these dreary, taxing times?
Yes!!!!
Love this stalwart bird! The photo and the words fit my psyche today…”there are millions of boats of righteous souls on the waters with you.” Clarissa always deepens and inspires us. Thank you!
Yes. She sure does!
we are more resilient than we think. hope is what keeps us going.
It sure does.

I absolutely love the work of Clarissa Pinkola Estés.
‘I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it; I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate.’ This is a daily practice, that really works!! Thanks for sharing DK 🙂
I do not keep a chair for it. So love that Karen. Thank you.
Needed this today. Thanks and hope you are well, David.
Jordan, it’s been such a long time. I hope you are doing well.
Loved reading more from her. Thanks for sharing along with your photo. 💛
Thanks Val. She’s amazing.
