A few photos from our long, long, drive that is almost over.
Road trips are fun, but they all must end sometime.
These photos seem most fitting on this Memorial Day, as we passed lots of monuments, cars and bridges during our drive.
And, what ‘s more American than that?
Happy Memorial Day to you and your loved ones.
Today is Memorial Day.
And, it’s clear to me the intent of the day is to honor and remember those who served. Which I believe is a noble day to set aside.
Yesterday, as I rolled by the local Vineyard Haven cemetery I couldn’t help but notice the little flags waving back at me. It looked like a sea of memories, of reminders, of heroes. Almost as if the flags were whispering in unison: remember us.
I just read a description about the holiday and its metamorphosis over time. One phrase jumped out at me: “to honor those who gave their all” ~ and I kind of like the sound of that.
Giving your all.
I grew up with the mantra “What you put into it, you get out of it.”
And I would like to think that is what we are doing here, whatever we serve.
Maybe in different forms and versions and scenarios, but still, giving our all.
If The Promise 365 is teaching me anything, it is certainly this:
Giving “my all” is a day by day process.
But, so worth it.
It’s Day 150 of 2011 …are you giving your all?

You’ve made it. Over the hump of 2011 and looking directly at the other side. Approximately six months left to go, 181 days to mark on the calendar. Today concludes this four-part series, In The Middle. Day 4: Soul I wonder what Lewis and Clark thought as they hoofed it across North America, did they high-five […]
Have you ever felt like you were just supposed to be somewhere at a certain time ~ even though it wasn’t planned, you couldn’t predict it and never expected it? But there you found yourself anyway? That’s how I felt this week having to rush off the island with Pup’s little emergency. It put me […]
It feels like summertime and the shopping is easy. Here in Mexico one can’t escape the local vendors. They come to you. Whether sitting at a restaurant or sitting on the beach. Se vende? Want a new silver bracelet? Want a bright pink strapless beach dress? Want a kabob with shrimp and papaya? It’s so […]
