You see this? It’s not about anger and resentment. It’s about living life.

After a break in posting, it’s always hard to rejoin the fray. I always need inspiration. But the universe provides. Fate dropped this pic in my lap. Note that it has nothing to do with the SI swimsuit issue. It’s about beauty instead. Won’t tell you her name or relation, only that when she sees this my wife will smile, no, beam.

Why there is still hope. She is caught here in a moment of standing still. Which she almost never does. She runs and runs and runs, seizing life every day. She can be a scold but that’s only a mask for her love of husband, child, and life. She won’t stand for anything that gets in the way of her appointment with perfection. And you know what? She gets closer to that goal than almost anyone I’ve ever met.

Why I love this picture so much. One moment when she seems to be realizing that it’s working. All the prodigious effort is succeeding. Do you know anyone like this?

Keep your eyes open. The angels of our better selves are out there.
