2013 Fogstone Vineyard Pinot Noir
Fogstone Vineyard is owned by Bret Sisney and Gary Filizetti and it one of the northernmost estates in the Santa Lucia Highlands. It is on an east facing slope that rises from 200 feet to 500 feet as you go up the bench. Originally planted in 1992 through 2000, Fogstone has thirty-five acres of Pinot Noir, 100% of which are designated for Testarossa, making it one of our four Monopole wines. The property's close proximity to Monterey Bay makes for a very cool climate, with one of California's longest growing seasons. The resulting slow, gentle ripening allows for full flavor development on the vine. Fogstone is one of Testarossa's most innovative vineyard partners; Winemaker Bill Brosseau directly oversees all the farming and viticultural decisions for the acres that are designated for the winery. This is Testarossa's fourth vintage of Fogstone Pinot Noir.
"Deep rich red color. Scents of orange blossoms, cloves, nutmeg, pomegranate, papaya, and banana lead on the nose. As this Pinot Noir settles in the palate, the spice notes diffuse and the fruit tones amplify. There is an initial vibrant impact in the palate, yet the silky tannins ensue and add nice layers of sensation. Very hedonistic finish and will continue to please up through 2025." - Bill Brosseau

After a wildly busy weekend, with Easter hunts, Zoo dates, learning to ride a big boy bike, long naps with my boys, and visits to the farm, I sit in my home now with a knitting project in my hands, watching my boys play so nicely together, and I realize that I need to cherish every minute of this.
In the final days of my pregnancy I swing wildly back and forth between feeling like 'I NEED this baby out NOW' and, 'I'm feeling good, I've got it good, and baby can just cook as long as he or she needs'. Every time my belly tightens around my little one, and I wonder if it's the beginning of my birthing time, I get excited. But at the same time I wonder how things will change once it's all over. The moment Silas was born everything changed between me and Eli. Not that it was bad, it was just different. He was no longer my only little buddy, my constant companion, my best friend. He suddenly had to share all that. For some reason I think the transition will be easier this time. After all, Eli and Silas have each other - and they are used to sharing me. Still, things will be different. Silas will not be my baby any more. He will be a big boy, just like his brother. Eli will likely have more responsibilities, and I know he will take them on beautifully. He is always so glad to help. But, having a new baby in our home will make him seem so much older.
So, for now, I'm going to enjoy the fleeting moments of the life I have with just Eli and Silas. I am going to let them play Lego a little longer, when I think things should be cleaned up. I am going to try to be patient when they need to hug each other for at least two minutes before they go to bed at night. I am going to stare just a minute more when I check on them at night and they are draped over each other, sleeping so soundly. I am going to pray that as the years go on, and my attention gets more and more divided, that my love for these boys multiplies just as much. I don't know if we are adding another brother, or a little sister, to the mix, but whatever it is, I hope Eli and Silas will always know just how lucky they have it, having each other, and just how much their mommy is going to miss them, when it was just them.

Mlb continues to be ridden with anabolic steroids lately and also you will not help but question why this has not been taken proper care of sooner. You rarely learn about major steroid abuse within the National basketball association, National football league, NHL or other major sport. This does not mean that it's not happening in other sports, but it's not as rampant. One good reason why Major league baseball has already established a lot attention on for the reason that it had been among the last major sports organizations to begin applying a medication testing policy. Mark McGwire was among the first to provide hints that steroid supplementation happening. Androstendione, was discovered in the locker which could convert chemicals into extra testosterone. This introduced around lots of questions because this was exactly the same year he made his record operate on home runs. He upon the market soon after the growing season, but gossips were now all abuzz about steroid use within the locker room.
Much less lengthy in the end of the went lower, another player named Ken Caminiti told sports highlighted he been on face used anabolic steroids throughout his career which over fifty percent from the gamers within the league were responsible for it. Jose Canseco was someone else that assisted to boost speculation on other gamers using anabolic steroids. He accepted he used them and accused a number of other gamers of doing this too.
Before Caminiti, merely a couple of articles have been released about steroid use within Major league baseball, but later on there have been 100s being written. Other famous steroid scams involved Jason Giambi and Craig Bonds. Both of them told Grand Jury's their trainers had given them the supplements to assist with joint disease along with other locker room conditions.
Probably the most ironic parts about many of these scams is it assisted revive national attention for among the nation's earliest sports. Baseball sales have ongoing to improve since all of the recent occurrences have emerged. Homer records continue being shattered, and increasing numbers of people are watching to determine the large players at softball bat. Anabolic steroids aren't the sole reason behind this. Training and dietary habits have enhanced through the years and sports athletes have been in better shape than in the past. But anabolic steroids are certainly an element of the new "homer friendly" ballparks.
Despite all of the approaching proof of anabolic steroids getting used in baseball, it's apparent that they'll stay around as lengthy as gamers aren't getting caught. There is still no certified system for discovering who's with them and who isn't. Increasingly more gamers are confessing after their careers finish, but it'll be considered a while prior to it being all contained.

Pegasi are magnificent winged steeds that often serve the cause of good. These intelligent creatures are very shy and wild, not easily tamed. They serve only good characters, and when they do, they will serve their master with absolute faithfulness for the rest of his life.
A pegasus is a thoroughbred which resembles an Arabian horse (though slightly larger) with two large feathered wings. Pegasi are usually white, but brown pegasi are not unknown, and rumors persist of black pegasi. As should be expected, alignments do not vary according to color (all pegasi are chaotic good). Pegasi are 17 hands tall (5 feet at the shoulder) and weigh over 1,500 pounds. Pegasi must be ridden bareback; they will not accept saddles.
Pegasi speak their own language and can communicate with horses. They can understand common, and will obey their master's commands if they are given in that language.
Combat: A pegasus attacks with its hooves and teeth. It can attack an opponent who is behind it with its rear hooves, inflicting 2-12 points of damage, but it cannot use any of its other attacks in that round. A pegasus can also dive at an opponent from heights of 50 feet or higher and use its hoof attacks; each attack roll is +2 and does double damage.
In battle, a pegasus will try to lure larger opponents (such as dragons) into tight spaces. As the opponent struggles to maneuver into attack range, the pegasus climbs and attacks with its hooves from above. Against creatures their own size, such as griffons, pegasi use their superior speed to outrun them. If griffons are close to a pegasus nest (especially if there are young present), one parent will attack aggressively, get the griffon's attention, and then fly away. By doing this, they hope to lure enemies away from the nest and tire them out over a long distance before returning home.
Habitat/Society: Pegasi are egg-laying mammals. If encountered in their lair, there will be one nest for every pair of pegasi. There is a 20% chance per nest that there will be 1-2 eggs (30% chance) or young (70%) of 20-50% maturity. Each egg is worth 3,000 silver pieces, while the young are worth 5,000 silver pieces per head on the open market.
A pegasus can be used as a warhorse; a male can carry weight as a medium warhorse (220/330/440), while a female can carry weight as a light warhorse (170/255/340).
Pegasi are intelligent creatures. They can detect good and detect evil at will (60 yard range). They use these powers on those who would ride them; they try to throw anyone of non-good alignments who would tame them. If provoked, pegasi will not hesitate to attack creatures whom they perceive as evil.
To tame a pegasus, a person of good alignment must locate a pegasus herd. Then, at night, he can try to sneak up on a pegasus and surprise it. The character must have the airborne riding proficiency. There is an initial +10 penalty to the roll; pegasi do not like to be tamed. A magical bridle enchanted for the purpose will remove this penalty. If the character successfully makes his roll, then the pegasus will be tamed.
A tamed pegasus will obey the commands of its master for as long as it lives, if the master remains of good alignment.
Ecology: Pegasi feed on grass, fruits, and other plants. Griffons and hippogriffs are the natural enemies of a pegasus. Pegasi have a lifespan of about 40 years.
Greater Pegasus
Legend has it that if a medusa is slain and beheaded, there is a small (5%) chance that a greater pegasus will be born, springing fully born from the medusa's cloven neck. These pegasi have the same attacks and movement rate of a normal pegasus but are worth 6 Hit Dice and have 20% magic resistance. They also have a +1 bonus to their morale rating. There is a 5% chance that the leader of a herd of pegasi will be a greater pegasus. Greater pegasi can be tamed only by the noblest and greatest of heroes, and have a lifespan of 100 years.

– London, England –
Today was our first real day in London, and we will not be here for long. Mark has to work today, as I mentioned yesterday, so for a good portion of the day, I was on my own.
We don't usually have room to bring running things on international trips, but we've managed it this time, and I couldn't be more excited. I think Mark secretly thinks you aren't supposed to exercise on vacation, but he's wrong. So there.
At any rate, we ended up running along a towpath beside a canal that leads out to the Thames River. Boathouses line the side. It's interesting, in a way. We don't see areas like that much at home.
Something else interesting too- you may drive on the left side here, but it seems pedestrian traffic is a bit more confusing. We've been trying to keep left, assuming that the people would move the same way as the cars. We aren't entirely wrong, but it seems like it is more up to the person doing it than any general rule.
In the U.S. and Canada, you always keep right. It is an unspoken rule, and people will not be very happy with you if you violate it. Here, the rules seems a bit murkier. It's almost like everyone is just making it up as they go along. It makes it more challenging not to get run over by bicyclists.
We were back at the hotel by about 7:45am, where we showered and dressed and hustled down to breakfast before the rush at 8:30. The staff actually warned us about the breakfast rush, although we have been here before, so we sort of remembered. Breakfast only lasts from 7-9am, so many of the people staying here wait until the last minute to go down for breakfast.
Thankfully, our hotel offers 3 breakfast options, and two of them are vegetarian. They offer a regular English breakfast, a vegetarian English breakfast, and a continental breakfast (which includes yogurt and cereal).
Since we're in England, it is important to do as the English do (at least the vegetarian ones), so we had our English breakfast today. If you don't know what that is, the traditional full English breakfast includes fried eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans, sausage, bacon, and toast. That's the general formula, though you will see some variation.
Our breakfast didn't include bacon, obviously, but it did have a soy sausage, which was really odd-tasting. I didn't eat any more after the first bite. It's also served with tea or coffee. Full English breakfast is a really big deal here. Many of the touristy areas offer it in every other shop, all day. From what I gather, people that actually live here only eat it occasionally, like we do with our heavier breakfast options.
After breakfast, I actually wrote yesterday's post, which shouldn't surprise you, if you read it. I was much to tired to write it last night. Mark went on to his meetings at about 9am.
I left the hotel at around 12, with my blog post finished and my camera all ready. I stopped by a Pret first for a sandwich and some chips. One of the interesting things about eating here is that all water is served sparkling (or fizzy, as I always say) unless you specifically ask for 'still.' I had to be careful to buy still water with my lunch. Fizzy water ruins my day.
The museum I planned for today didn't open until 1pm, so I was still a little early. I ate my lunch in the Cartwright Gardens with the pigeons and a very large number of construction workers. The whole street beside it is quite torn up.
Fom there, I still had about another half hour to kill, so I walked down to Russell Square to look around the little park there, then stopped by the British Museum. It wasn't my plan today, so I did not go inside, but I think I will go tomorrow. I had to get my bag searched just to make it onto the lawn, which I do not remember happening the last time we were here in 2011.
By the time I'd finished up in that area, it was after 1, and I headed for my real destination for the day: The Grant Museum of Zoology. It's a free museum on the University College London campus that houses a large collection of zoological specimens. I'm not sure everyone would find it interesting, but I certainly did.
The whole museum is relatively small, pyhysically, but it houses over 67,000 specimens, according to their website. I must say that I saw enough to make me believe it.
The walls of the museum are lined with cabinets all the way up, and the cabinets are full-to-bursting with skeletons, formaldehyde-filled jars, and other random odds and ends. There's so much that it can be difficult to tell what you are even looking at.
The museum has a list of its top ten specimens, and several of them are really something special. I didn't get a photograph, but one of them is an ice-age deer skull with antlers still attached. The deer would've been about 2 meters tall, but the antlers were 3.6 meters across. They were even more impressive than moose antlers.
Have you ever heard of the Thylacine? I know not everyone has, but it's one of those recently extinct animals that people tend to find fascinating. The thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, was an Australian predator that filled the wolf-niche that we have back home. They were marsupials, though, as most of the mammals in Australia are.
The last Thylacine died in a zoo in Hobart in the 1930s, as far as we can tell. People still claim to see them to this day, and as recently as this week, someone released a video claiming to have spotted one on mainland Australia.
Regardless of whether or not they still exist, they are considered extinct, and the skeletons in the museum are interesting. If you can see the black and white photograph on the museum case in my photo above, you'll see a picture of the last known Thylacine. Check out how widely his mouth opens! From what I understand, that's the widest gape of any mammal. It's quite creepy, honestly.
This skeleton is of a quagga, which was once a type of zebra. The last of these died out in 1883. Only 7 quagga skeletons exist today! The museum had this skeleton for a long time before they even realized it was a quagga and not a normal zebra.
Mark's favorite photo of my adventure was from the Micrarium, which is a small room in the Grant Museum filled with around 20,000 slides of the smaller inhabitants of our planet. It was fun to pick out things that I remembered studying in Microbiology and such back in college.
They have a few other things that make their top ten list: a brain collection, bones of the extinct dodo bird, exquisite glass models of invertebrates, and others. I doubt that Mark would have enjoyed it as much as I did, but I am glad that I went.
I came back to the hotel after I'd finished at the museum, then waited for Mark for dinner. We had dinner with his library colleagues at a local pub, which was pretty loud and crowded. We had quite a time stuffing everyone into our tiny corner of the place.
They only really had two vegetarian dishes that were not salads, and since I was starving from all of my walking around, I picked one and Mark picked the other. Mine, in particular, was a mistake. It was vegetarian bangers and mash, which is basically sausage and potatoes. I'm already not much of a fan of fake meat, and this was no exception. Mark had a veggie burger with Brie, which I'm also not a fan of, so I didn't have many options. (I'm starting to sound picky, but mostly I'm not, I swear.)
Once we were out of the pub, we were quite grateful to be moving around again. We walked over to King's Cross, which is really close to our hotel, in search of ginger beer and candy that we don't have back home.
We ended up discovering that since we've last visited, they've reopened the portion of the station that they were renovating, and the new area includes a Harry Potter shop called Platform 9 3/4. There was a line of people outside the shop waiting to take photographs that made it look like they were running through the wall between platforms 9 and 10, as the characters do in the books. A man was in charge of making it look like the person's scarf was fluttering out behind them in the breeze.
The little shop was full of toys, clothes, and books. They had an entire wall of wands for the various characters from the stories. We didn't buy anything, as my obsession does not run that deep, but it was all quite fun to look at.
I couldn't believe how many people were there considering it was after 9pm on a Monday. Tourists, right?
We stopped by a miniature version of a local grocery chain in the station and found candy and drinks, though not the ginger beers we were dreaming of.
My soda was sparkling apple juice, basically, and Mark's was rhubarb. He's always been the braver one. His didn't turn out that great, which may explain why I always play it safe and get the one that I think will actually be good. We didn't choose our candy well, either. Maybe next time.
Tomorrow Mark has meetings from 9-5, and I am going back to the British Museum. We don't have dinner plans yet, so we will see where we end up.
I know we get to go running again, which sounds like a great start to the day to me. After today, we are picking up our rental car and heading up towards Scotland to take in some scenery. I can't wait.

Johnny has lost £25,000. It all happened so fast: he just put it down for a second and then it was gone. It wasn't his to lose. It was such a simple job: deliver a package for his criminal boss Staunton - a small job, but a very important one.
Johnny turns to his brother Del for salvation who knows one thing for certain: they need to find 25Gs, and before Staunton finds him. Whilst Del tries to find the money from somewhere, Johnny goes into hiding and meets the enigmatic Hayley, who seems to have the answers to everything, but all is not so straightforward is this existentialist crime-caper: chance meetings and peculiar turns of events escalate things to nightmarish proportions.

In the past, a kingdom named Selebar existed in this area. A
vassal state of Banten, it was the latter's main source of pepper,
cloves, nutmeg and coffee, the trade commodities on which the
Javanese Kingdom thrived. On July 12, 1685, Selebar signed a treaty
with the British East India Company, gave the latter the right
to establish a warehouse and fortification. First, the British
built Fort York. Then, another one arose, located more to the
north. Built in 1713-1719, this latter fortification was named
Fort Marlborough. It was the British power seat and influence
in these western parts of the archipelago until 1825, when under
the terms of the London Treaty, England handed over the Dutch
territory in exchange for others, ended 139 years of British power
in Bengkulu.
Bengkulu had used to be the only British colony in Southeast
Asia for over 140 years. It was founded as an alternative source
for pepper, after the Dutch got rule over Banten in the 17th century.
This small British outpost along a low populated shore however
has never been of much value: the importance of pepper on the
world market was rapidly descending and Bengkulu was too far away
from the main trade routes to mean anything. From 1685 to 1825
the books of the British East Indian Company reports very bad
trade, boredom and early death because of malaria.
Fortress York, the first British base, was founded in 1685, followed
by the construction of Fortress Marlborough two kilometers ahead
in 1715. The British thought that the local population was 'indolent'
and it was usual to punish their leaders. When William Dampier
was in Bengkulu in 1690, he found two of those leaders chained
because 'they didn't bring in the demanded amount of pepper to
the Fortress'. Outside protests of the British government, this
form of punishment was common into the beginning of the 19th century.
Bengkulu was awakened from apathy during Raffles reign (1818 -
1824), but in 1825 the colony was transferred to the Dutch, in
trade for the acknowledgement of the British influence on the
Malaysian peninsula and Singapore. During his stay in Singapore,
Raffles started to explore the sea, what eventually ended in the
foundation of Singapore. His enjoyment over the booming economy
of his new colony was overshadowed by the sad fact that three
of his four children died in Bengkulu. The British influence was
kept limited to the small coastal planes. The Dutch annotated
the mountainous hinterlands in the 19th century after a number
of military expeditions. Shortly before the turn to the 20th century
the Dutch discovered that the mountains near Bengkulu contained
tremendous gold deposits and the province soon became the biggest
gold-producing province of the Dutch Indies.
Bengkulu population consists of four main groups. The Rejang
are the mountain people and form the majority. They are divided
into two groups: the highland Rejang and the coastal Rejang, which
have moved to the western lowlands. In the south live Serawai,
which are related with the Pasemah in the highlands around Pageralam
and Mount Dempo. In the capital, there are many Malay people.
Bengkulu province has been inhabited ever since the pre-historic
times, which is proved in the findings of stone tools in the northern
area, and the discovery of megalith constructions and old drums
from the Dongson type in the south. The isolated Enggano Island
just of the southern beach, living another group habitat. For
a long time the Engganese were protected by influences from outside,
because of their remoteness, but eventually pocks and other diseases,
which were brought to the island by Western expeditions at the
end of the 19th century, struck them. Around the end of the 19th
century it is tried to bring fresh blood into the group, but that
didn't succeed as well. During the reign of Soekarno, the island
has temporarily been a prison island as well.

In the case of study on the seismic behavior of tanks, one of the most important subjects is selection of convective and impulsive frequencies for storage tanks. These two frequencies are defined by Housner. The major utility of these frequencies is for Rayleigh damping which is a must for time history analysis. API 650, EUROCODE 8 have suggested some analytical solutions for finding convective and impulsive frequencies and other parameters. In addition, these frequencies can be obtained from modal analysis by finite element software. In current study, these frequencies are obtained using Finite Element (FE) software and performing modal analysis. In the next stage, these modes are compared with analytical methods from standards. To compare tanks with different (H/R) ratios, all these tanks are modeled with the same volume and weight. This study showed that there is a good agreement between convective frequencies extracted from Finite Element method and those from standards. Furthermore, an increase in liquid level led to a rise and dip in convective and impulsive frequencies, respectively. In addition, results show that a 1.47 times increase in the viscosity leads to a 17 percent decrease in the values of impulsive frequencies.

Compliments of Kathlyn Hendricks, PhD, as published in Healing lifestyles & spas magazine.
First, take two or three relaxed breaths. Then, change your position or posture, which helps shift your perspective. Next, think of something you genuinely appreciate about your partner. This could be something he or she does daily, an aspect of his or her personality, or something that he or she is doing right now. Finally, look over at your partner and say something you really mean,
Start with, "I appreciate…" Again, it doesn't have to be profound. I appreciate you driving, I appreciate you making coffee every morning. I appreciate you picking up the kids. Hendricks says, "Appreciations fill the reservoir of good feelings. Both pople benefit because they feel good to give and

1939. Mobile, Alabama. "Collins store -- Royal Street near St. Louis Street." The Panama Cafe looks like our kind of place. Note the Dr Pepper truck in the alley. 8x10 inch acetate negative by Frances Benjamin Johnston. View full size.
What's the significance of the "Collins Store" in the caption? Some explanation seems in order.
I believe this is where the new U.S. Customs Services is today, between St Louis and St Anthony. By 1951 the phone number had changed to 2-9874.
Those Barq's folks sure knew how to craft a compelling slogan.
If there are basement stairs on the other side, it was, and still is, common to lower the knob for easier access from stairway. The knob height indicates a steep and dark stairway. Try a cane sugar Dr. Pepper for the old fashioned flavor.
Barq's rootbeer was my drink when I was a kid. It was great stuff for a rootbeer float. It's still bottled today but I don't think it tastes the same as 60 (gasp!) years ago.
What's with the LOW doorknob on the BIG door on the left?
Any ideas/guesses?
Follow your nose. I'm pretty sure that the fresh seafood aroma wafting from this oyster bar enticed passers-by to check it out, as the flies clustered on the holey screen door working their way inside. I can even smell it now emanating from this picture, the hot French fries, bubbling pots of oil and hints of the salty sea while contemplating the layer of slick, greasy coating covering every object in the restaurant. The owner obviously lives upstairs in the far left window apt. with an identical chair as in the diner. Could that be the cook sitting on the bench for a breath of fresh air? No waiting.
Not only will the Panama Cafe prepare your Oysters Any Way, they also sell Coca-Cola, 7-Up, Barq's Root Beer, Dr. Pepper (10 - 2 & 4) and even offer Dentyne Gum, for that after-the-oysters breath freshening.
But if you wanted to call them back in the day, just ring up Belmont-9415, according to the "U.S. Telephone Directory Collection" at Archive.org

I have always loved a peplum style dress. My little Mia loves any dress that swirls and hence my Lace Peplum dress was born. Made from light weight cotton and embellished with a gorgeous floral lace, this is sure to be any girly girls best friend this summer. It is sophistication personified for a small person. ps: this is Mia's favourite dress of the collection.
Our garments are made from soft 100% cotton that has just a little bit of stretch in it for the perfect fit. Our garments tend to be a bigger fit/cut compared to some retailers.
Fabric composition:
· 100% cotton sourced from Cape Town and Durban which means that the fabric is 100% Proudly South African.
Lace fabric has been used in the top section of this garment and it is an imported lace and not made locally.
Wash care instructions:
· We recommend that all of our garments be hand washed and hung inside out on the line.
· Our garments can be washed in a washing machine, however, by hand washing and using a good detergent, you could prolong the life of the garments.
· Do not iron directly onto the prints, rather place a handkerchief or light piece of fabric over the garment/print and iron onto the fabric.
· We also recommend that you do not tumble dry the garments unless necessary as tumble drying can damage garments.
· Please note: these are care recommendations – our garments are made from quality fabrics and prints so you are able to follow your normal ways of cleaning your products. We simply use the above as a guide to help prolong the life of your garments.

"We Have a Responsibility to Awe"
Did you know that there are scientific connections between feeling a sense of wonder and being compelled to DO good for others and FEEL good about yourself? That's right – forget Wheaties – forget self-help books. All you really need is awe (the Beatles were wrong), which is why it's so important that we find a way to bridge the gap between the mundane and the rhapsodic.
You all know that creating experiences of wonder is a big part of my personal philosophy (though I realize my blog name actually just makes me sound like an amateur magician). It drives my involvement in all sorts of activities (all legal), and, I think, is the reason I still look 25 (says a cab driver I had once). So I wanted to share with you Jason Silva's new passion project – "Shots of Awe." A TestTube series about what it means to be ALIVE - these 2-minute videos are like little jolts of caffeine right to the frontal lobe (and your libido, if I'm being honest).
Check out the sneak peek below – packed full of gorgeous photography and Jason's inspiring, stream-of-consciousness style, this will feel like the best conversation you've had all day (especially if you haven't actually had any conversations today). Bottom line – We Have a Responsibility to Awe. (Cue adrenaline-pumping rock anthem.)
What are your favorite moments of awe?

Great post…each time a new SoA is posted ..i watch over and over.
This series inspires…in awe of jason silva.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Jason is the host of my series, Brain Games, and I can tell you he's just an amazing dude! I, too am glued to his SoA series!
Wow…that's amazing. Pretty wonderful, wonderlist:)

Waking up each day. Knowing I am still here is my sense of true awe.
Knowing you're still here gives ME a sense of true happiness!
