The Spelling Bee

I stumbled on these videos from the last two national spelling bees. They made me laugh so I wanted to share them with you.

Bit More of an Iconic Image of St. Andrews

A Gratitude Voyeur in St. Andrews





Wandering the streets of St. Andrews, Scotland ("The Home of Golf" as it's known) I happened to glance up and saw this older woman sitting in the window. She vaguely reminded me of my mother who had been active and engaged for so much of her life.

Seeing this lady framed in the window brought a wash of gratitude for whoever she is -- this woman sitting in her window going through her life with no idea of how her just being there would impact me and remind me of my mother.

And now I, wandering the streets with no idea of what I would find, am grateful and thankful for this unknown woman's life.

May she find ease. May her life be at peace.
