We drove down to Cindy's, stopping at my sister Sharon's home (which gave Jenny a chance to meet my 'new' sister and her husband). We had a delightful several hours with them; all finding that life somehow gives every one of us a chance to deal with adversity. It just seems so obvious that no one escapes trials and tribulations; the whole secret of enjoying life is in how you deal with those challenges rather than in avoiding them.
The next night we were playing a word game at Cindy's, with her step-son Dylan and his new bride, who happens to be an Aussie. Well, one word was frivolous, and she politely inquired, "what does that mean?" and her new husband, as quick-witted and wry as his dad, quipped, "that means 'without frivol'." I mean, like we were all convulsed with laughter, which may say something (I agree now) about both the hour and the libations that we had enjoyed.
May your life be filled with 'frivol' and 'love'
