Because pink makes me happy

There is much to post about -- it's coming. Eventually.

There is much to do -- it's happening. Slowly, but it's happening.

There is much to ponder -- it's all in there. Swirling, but it will soon settle.

For now, on this rainy day that seems much closer to autumn than the summer solstice, I am centering on this. Yes, taken in my mother's garden.

I am choosing to surround myself with colors (shhh, never mind the 27 black tees hanging in my closet) that make me feel good and to shift my focus from the craziness to the calm.

I took this picture because pink makes me happy, almost every time.  And because peonies, in their lushness made by ants burrowing into the buds, are among my favorite flowers.

So today, with all this stuff to accomplish and think about and unwind, I'm pressing pause with this one pink peony.
