Morning Josh and Fanyons! Marilyn asked me to hold the fort while she is on vacation this week and I'm happy to help as she is making her way to unite with old friends, make new ones and just have fun this week! So here goes. . . Today is Columbus Day and that seems the perfect holiday to celebrate as our fellow adventuring Fanyons are packing for and traveling to GRL in Atlanta. They are trekking across the United States, from Canada, across the Pacific and the Atlantic to meet up with Facebook and GR friends who have become the real deal. That puts me in mind of the how small our world is and how fortunate we are to experience people and cultures from around the world here.

I worked like crazy in the garden, made albondigas soup and cooked a pot roast yesterday, which is a good thing for the upcoming weekend. My Costa Rican coffee is outstanding this morning and the weather is gorgeous with blue skies and temperatures in the low 60s and highs in the mid-80s, which is perfect for more gardening and some reading on the patio. Yep, already looking forward to the weekend! I'm so happy Marilyn asked me to do this in her absence because it has me contemplating the things I love most. Every day my friends post images of pets, wildlife, flowers, crafts, quotes and children and I recognize it's a joyful expression of themselves. I love that. Steve and Felix take photographs of sunsets and nature, Marilyn shares music and big cats, Haldis photographs flowers of every type and color, Johanna has shared her watercolor work and cover art, Gail shares her love of the moon, while David and Marc share their joy of art collecting and cooking. And that brings me to the artwork on my FB wall. Recently someone asked where I find it and why I do it. Well, I look everywhere and anywhere for art because it's all around us. I have to emotionally connect — I get lost in the message of a piece — with the artwork because I only share what I love. Sometimes the piece is vibrant, filled with movement and sometimes it's subtle and introspective. I see the love of art as personal revelation and a promise of respite from the everyday grind. When I post, it's more than page gilding, it's me conversing with you. Do you feel that way about what you post on your page every
