The Simple Things Are the Best

"When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things—not the great occasions—that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness."
— Bob Hope

The photos below are a bunny rabbit, a flower, a humming bird and a weed. These are some of the simple things that can help bring us joy and happiness in life. I am trying to pay special attention to the simple things these days.

The pattern on a leaf or a reflection in the water can all bring a moment of joy if we can pause to behold their beauty. Life happens now. Not tomorrow and not last week—now.

Take a moment to  enjoy the simple things...

Happy Father’s Day…

I can’t resist getting on the Father’s Day bandwagon. I never really knew my father—only met him once before he died. While I can’t change the past, I honor him on this day for his role in bringing me into the world. And if I had not come into the world, my children would not be here either.

I am the very proud father of three. The first photo below is my two daughters. Shayna on the left is 15 and Ashley on the right is 19. Sean, below, is Shayna’s twin brother.

Happy Father’s Day to all…

Early Morning Frozen Fog

I was up before dawn this morning and noticed that a heavy fog had settled all around the area where I live. It’s rather unusual to see fog at this time of year. After I downed a cup of coffee I decided to go for an early morning hike in the open space near my house.

I bundled up and set off with my camera in hand to greet the morning. The fog had condensed on the plants and then froze creating a frosty layer of crystals seeming to glow with a brilliant white halo. I snapped a few photos along the way capturing a moment in time that quickly vanished as the sun came up and the fog lifted.

A Story of Hope and Song Emerges From the Rubble in Hati After 6 Days

Like millions of people all over the world I have been deeply touched by the horrific disaster in Hati. I lived in California for nearly 30 years so I have experienced many earthquakes including the 7.0 Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989.

I was living in the Santa Cruz mountains at the time just a few miles from the epicenter. Although the damage was severe and widespread, we got through it because of the infrastructure we have in place—police, fire department, emergency services, food, water, resources, etc.. The people in Hati are not so fortunate. Their resources are stretched beyond their capacity and their ability to cope is greatly diminished. Yet miracles are happening in Hati every day now.

On last night’s evening news there was a story of hope amid the rubble and misery of the earthquake. A woman who worked in a bank was pulled from the debris after being buried alive for six days. What is amazing is her husband was there when she was found and had never given up hope that she was still alive.

Workers had been clearing debris when they heard a sound. Frantically, they began digging but they didn’t have the tools to clear the rubble. And then a team of firemen from Los Angeles arrived and went to work.

The woman was rescued and reunited with her husband. As she was pulled out of the rubble and she was still on her back in the dirt, she began singing a joyous song of praise for life. It was quite moving and even chokes me up just to think about it as I write. This video captured the whole scene.
