Miami: Second Thoughts.


M
osquitoes.
Is there anyone who speaks English?
Are you honking at me?
Moisture.
Is this for real?

But then...


To My Home.

I am an Oak, grounded in your soil ;
I come and go but will always stay,
Where long ago my seed was planted.

I reach far but stand,
In your light, my branches grow;
In time, my leaves will drift
And leave new buds to spring.

I am an Oak, rooted to you,
My home, where I will land
But never fall.

Naps: I got your back.

In short, naps save lives. I started taking power naps (20 minute naps), not every day, I’m not that much of an old lady, but regularly enough that naps are now dear to me. Naps are good.

Can’t move your legs? Take a nap ; hating life ? Take a nap ; don’t remember why you are walking in a certain direction? Take a nap ; at a red light? Take a nap. Just woke up from a nap ? Take a nap. Power naps make grumpy people go away, at least for 20 minutes.
