saturday, october 3rd:

My car is in the shop again and it is only two years old. I purchased it new. I took good care of it. So, I wonder what is up with my car? This is the second time I took the car into the shop....stay tuned with that. I live in Texas. I live in San Antonio. I've lived in different parts of Texas, but I'm a native Californian. Maybe that is why I'm having problems with my car. I've lived in Tejas for a very long time..... Before taking my car into the shop I was at a stop light along with lots of others waiting for the light to turn green. I was looking around and saw another homeless person sitting out by the curbside.....I wondered about that person and how there are so, many people in need. Sometimes when I can I try to give them some change or what have you....however, this time I didn't.....someone else did. The homeless person got up quickly and I wondered why? The person behind me gave the person their food they had just purchased somewhere along with their ice tea. I don't know who the stranger was in the car.....but I say to you...how I love you let me count the ways. I love the thought...I love the kindness..I love the gesture....which this human being showed to another. From my perspective kindness isn't abound-like it was at one time. I took a walk to the library today to pick up another library book. Because of Covid-19 you can't go inside the library, but can order books then pick-up the media. They put your items in a plastic shopping bag and place the package on a table outside with your name. It is sort of like shopping for a book since it is in a shopping bag. Maybe that is all a person needs--to feel like they purchased something, but didn't? I just happened to stumble upon some acorns while walking away from the library. I collect them. I felt like I struck gold and the right tree because I have never seen anything quite so, beautiful as these (again) beautiful acorns. I can't wait to do something with them. I definitely want to draw and paint them on paper. I already took a photo of them. Above you can see some of my library books, which I've read and will read and I am reading. The other books belong to me. Art books. April showers may bring May flowers, but October and Fall bring beautiful, brown, round Acorn flowers. And there is something wrong with blogger and the setup.
