Differences are good.

That’s why the corner restaurant, up the hill, behind the gardens, is so special.

When you feel like treating someone, celebrating, it’s that different location that appeals.

In the midst of the unique, you discover what is the same.

No need to find “common ground”. Just find any ground.

If you don’t want to mash potatoes try something else.

I like mashed yams. Once cooked they are so easy, effortless, to mash!

It is not necessary to cut vegetables up into identically sized pieces, or to chop them into nano-squares. Food does not taste better for being organized like a bureaucracy!

Let the hems down, the pleats out and don’t plan too much. Happenstance, the magic of moments discovered and random discovery, have much to offer the warm blooded and prone-to-be-cheerful.

Yes, you are correct.

There may be a better choice.

It’s your choice, it’s up to you.

No reason not to open the idea up for review.

Someone else’s ideas and suggestions may just fit, or they may send the pieces of that puzzle into their perfect place.

One breath later, the world is new.
