so blissquest august 2010 was a rousing success. so much bliss in that one little month. this morning i decided that i'll be on a quest to define the word "rad" on a daily basis through september examples. am happy to hear suggestions for future words to define through tangible examples.

my mom took me out to lunch today. i mentioned that i notice folks using the word "benign" a lot these days, as a descriptor of something harmless. she said that when she was pregnant with me, she noticed a lot more pregnant ladies than she ever had before. makes sense. perspective.

got back late last night from 8 solid days on maui, plus 2 solid travel days to and from. inspired by an old picture of me and my beloved big wheel bike, i decided to spend the month of august looking for daily moments of bliss. have been successful so far, and my heart feels lighter for the effort. i'm chronicling the daily moments of bliss on my facebook page. will likely make a digital story about them when august is over. so far, by day -

pssst, bucko. i think i did it! did the link right. thanks for the lesson.

when i got back to corvallis after 2 months in arizona hospitals, i was in a wheelchair for many months, mainly because of my balance issues. my parents took me to watch our local college basketball team, the beavers. when the announcer asked us to stand for the pledge, i laughed.
