my secret life....

my heart is smiling....

i am sitting in this paradise bakery & cafe in surprize, AZ while my folks are having a 'gay ol' time at some active 50+yr community living space where they're playing golf with good friends. i'm glad they're having a great time even though i'd hate to think that i'll be at a place in my life where grass on steroids and a nearby community center with geriatrics exercise will do it for me. but life is about striving for happiness so if my folks are having a great time, i will encourage that however best i can.

i have a bunch of stuff to get done for our season opener at the key and will hit the ground running shortly but thought i'd share a few things with you that made my heart sing. i was killing time at a barnes & noble and finished off this great flick by sam mendes. if you haven't had the chance yet to see it, go rent 'away we go'. i loved the story, the soundtrack and the beauty of two people awaiting (yet scared) for the birth of their daughter and the interesting people in their lives. i adore the way burt loves verona. it made me think that instead of focusing on the unknown and my crazy little back up plan, that i need to be ready to love again. to open my heart to the possibilities that i will once again fall for someone and that i could be someone's verona....

anyways, upon finishing the flick and trying to figure out where to go next in the little town of surprise....this sweet pixt message arrived in my inbox. thank you so much for loving my little stinker and for taking care of him, uncle d. i literally went from this charming flick to seeing my little baby playing in what he would call heaven - aqua.

so on that note, i thought i'd post a bunch of pix that will forever keep my heart smiling...
