		<description><![CDATA[
I just heard an uplifting story this morning on a trail run with my good friend, so I thought I&#8217;d break my blogging silence and share.  My friend told me she was at her son&#8217;s middle school conference track championship last month and during the 4 X 100m one of her son&#8217;s teammates took [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My daughters sang this, a capella, in the backseat on the way to school today:
I&#8217;m nothing special, in fact I&#8217;m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you&#8217;ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
&#8216;Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I&#8217;m so grateful and proud
All I want is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today my mother gave me some good advice.
 She said, &#8220;If you no longer have any goals, then do your chores.&#8221;
There are always chores to be done.

But this does beg the question &#8230;

lyrics from R.E.M.:
Oh, life is bigger
It&#8217;s bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I&#8217;ve said too much
I set it up
(chorus)
That&#8217;s me in the corner
That&#8217;s me in the spotlight, I&#8217;m
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don&#8217;t know [...]]]></description>

Sometimes a purchased gift just isn&#8217;t enough to show how much you love someone &#8230; so I made this painting/collage for Dave&#8217;s anniversary present.  Embedded in the piece is my bluets poem and, if you look closely, a photo of the two of us!
Too bad anniversary number 9 isn&#8217;t &#8220;cloth &#8221; but pottery.

It is actually more of a tart, but we call it &#8220;Betsy&#8217;s Pie&#8221; (named after another friend who taught me how to make this delicious [...]]]></description>

Estas son las mañanitas, que cantaba el Rey David,
Hoy por ser día de tu santo, te las cantamos a ti,
Despierta, mi bien, despierta, mira que ya amaneció,
Ya los pajarillos cantan, la luna ya se metió.
Que linda está la mañana en que vengo a saludarte,
Venimos todos con gusto y placer a felicitarte,
Ya viene amaneciendo, [...]]]></description>
