Litchfield Beach, at Pawleys Island, SC.
Here we are - My brother Jim, Anne, Frank and I strolled through a small part of the gardens yesterday. Frank took the photo and then Jim took the one of Frank and me. As you can see, our vacation since February 1 has been good for us! It was special having Jim and Anne here to enjoy the gardens and then a delightful supper at Frank's Restaurant here in Pawleys Island. Truly one not to miss. Also enjoyed a lovely lunch at Brookgreen. Now the ticket into the gardens is a 7-day pass, so Frank and I will return at least once more before we leave on the 28th.
Last night during our Pod call - Kathy, Faye, Nancy and I - I mentioned a line from a Mary Oliver poem - Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your wild and wonderful life? and I am still pondering that question. Beginning in 1996, more than 20 years ago, I pondered that question seriously for four years prior to my retirement from Clemson. It was well worth the effort for my final answer to the question is still valid. I discovered six things that make me happy: travel, learning, clothes, center stage, physical activity...and for the life of me I can't remember the sixth one this morning....but all of these factors are important parts of my life
In 2001 I began teaching yoga at a Senior Action Center in Greenville and I have never stopped teaching and practicing yoga - the answer to Mary Oliver's question. And, indeed, my life is wild and wonderful!
How is yours?
