sunshine, art, and goals
What amazing sunny, and warm weather we had this weekend. This is us yesterday enjoying the opening of the Chicano exhibit (Rene Yanez was guest curator) at the de Young museum. This is the best special exhibit we've seen here so far, and definitely recommend it.
The picture on the right is me at my goal weight. It's been quite a month of accomplishments. Receiving an exciting new job offer, quitting the current job, and getting my weight down. Tomorrow begins my LAST week at the current job. Waiting for 'short-timers' to set in! August is going to be an action-packed month - anniversaries, birthdays, vacation, and of course starting the new job - all good things for which I count my blessings.

a new path
Suffice to say, the waiting time was shortened by two days! Not long after yesterday's post in fact! I like to think the Lord has heard my cries (or complaints perhaps). The opportunity has presented itself as A NEW JOB OFFER that I gladly accept. Hallelujah and Amen.

waiting
I waited 30 plus years to go to Italy, what are a couple more days! Waiting times are interesting. You’ve done all you can do about a situation and the rest is out of your hands. There's a saying, "Do your best, commit the rest." And so I have! I’ve committed a particular situation to God (as have some faithful prayer warrior friends). I trust the outcome will be what’s best whether I like it or not. Honestly though, since really letting go, I’m no longer anxious about it. I have peace now and if it turns out in my favor, I think I’ll be even more pleasantly surprised.

Stern Grove
A Sunday afternoon at Stern Grove listening to the San Francisco Symphony.
This is the first time I've actually been to Stern Grove Park! It's a really nice place, with a nice mature crowd. Nearly everyone was set up with blankets, chairs, and picnics.
Some are elaborate. I saw a little fold-out table complete with a red checkered tablecloth and a tiny vase of flowers! We had some nice wine and I indulged in too many terra chips.... someone shared vodka-soaked watermelon with us. That was interesting. Anyway... you can't go wrong with a Symphony. There's something about live classical music that I find 1- magical, and 2- heavenly.

Haiku Hike
Farmer’s Market
Ripe abundant fruit
Nectarines plums and peaches
Refreshingly sweet
Plump and vine ripened
Red and yellow tomatoes
Ready for salad
Hands search through heaps
Of glowing deep red cherries
For the flawless prize
Assortment of squash
Different shapes and shades
Arranged in baskets
Colorful bouquets
A spectrum full of sunshine
A feast for the eyes

ain't no sunshine...
It's a long holiday weekend and we're waiting for some sun to come out, but it's still cold and foggy here and I don't feel very inspired. Too bad we don't have any cake.
