The sound of a steady rain, gently washing my part of the world clean as I fall asleep. The taste of peach cobbler made the way my Mama made it. These are things that money cannot buy. Such was the theme of last week's philosophy discussion: "Things Money Cannot Buy." And I interpreted that to mean things that bring pleasure to us in the here and now. Tangible things, you understand.
I seem to have been almost alone in that interpretation. For most everybody else, the topic was centered on intangibles. Memories. Peace of mind. Contentment. A sense of self.
I guess it all depends on your perspective.

Really? What's the scar from?

Faustina Smith
Staph infection in 2002 from ... tripping over a curbstone at work and not getting my busted toe tended to in a timely fashion. So, let that be a lesson to you, young lady!

hey, I'll be glad to show you my scar sometime. It's a doozy! Looked really cool when it was healing, too. Took a couple of months.
