Zen:  To figure out something by meditation or by a sudden flash of enlightenment.

In the busy, complicated, crazy world world that we live in today, this is an Awesome Site to explore.....lots of zen topics to read and re-read.  De-clutter, organize, and simplify...what would life be like?  Doesn't it sound absolutely wonderful?

Seasons

I live in Texas and this summer we have had 40+ straight days of 100+ temperatures.  I love Texas.  I love living in the South but I am beginning to feel like I am living in the wrong part of the country as far as seasonal temperatures go.  I remember when I was growing up and in my teens, Summer was my favorite season.  School was out for the summer.  It meant laying out by the pool (for hours on end!), 4th of July picnics, going on vacation, eating watermelon, baseball games...  I definitely don't remember 100+ temperature days!  As I have gotten much older, my favorite season has definitely changed.  Now my favorite is Spring, followed by Fall.  But, in Texas where I live, Spring and Fall are the shortest (very short!) seasons.  It seems like it is very hot or cold here....not many days of warm and cool!

Spring is springtime, rebirth, renewal, and regrowth.  It is the most beautiful season!

Summer is the warmest of the seasons.  The days are the longest and the nights are the shortest.

Fall is the transition from warm to cold weather.  Trees start changing colors.  The arrival of night becomes noticeably earlier.

Winter is the coldest season...days are short, nights are long.

Baby Boom

I love watching the movie, Baby Boom, starring Diane Keaton and Sam Sheperd.  It's an old movie made in 1987 but I watch it to this day.  Diane Keaton plays J.C. who is a businesswoman whose life is turned upside down when she inherits a baby from a distant relative.  It's a light-hearted fun movie.
