long week

a few snapshots of my sweet hearts--my sons dancing... and my dearest cat maria on our deck-- and resting with henry. maria sleeps on my chest or curls next to my head every night. her purring helps me fall to sleep. i have to say maria or "emmie" as i like to call her is one of the most loving and wonderful cats that i've ever had the pleasure of living with.
as everyone knows first hand, some week's are so much better than others--- this past week was just plain lousy. filled with negative and saddening things--but that happens.  nothing works better to pull me out of a funk than looking around me and finding the beauty in my family and friends.  so in honor of love, home, and joy-- i bring you this post ... have a wonderful weekend...  and remember to dance as often as possible....
