Tonight's picture was taken in August of 2005. To be perfectly honest, I do not remember where this photo was taken, other than in Los Angeles. I want to say it was at a street fair we visited, but I am not sure. In any case, I love it, because it features two smiling sunflowers.
Quote of the day: You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. ~ Marcus Aurelius
My mom was a high school mathematics teacher in NYC for many years. She is a born teacher, as I personally benefited from her skills. Unlike her, I am not gifted with numbers. I would come home from school, perplexed and unable to do my math homework. However, my mom explained complex concepts in very manageable and understandable ways to me. But she is not limited to just explaining math, she can present on a whole host of topics.
When my mom spoke today, the audience was DEEPLY LISTENING. She captured their minds and hearts! In fact, my mom ended her talk with a Butterfly World quote...... Love is like a butterfly: It goes where it pleases and it pleases wherever it goes! Given that Valentine's Day is tomorrow, everyone just loved this quote and the way my mom ended on such a positive note.

Vicki, as you well know from our many texts & conversations, I am a sign person. I feel if we are open to seeing a greater meaning to things that occur in our life, we will see that deeper meaning. That is not to say, everything is a sign for me. Rather I find important meaning in somethings Insee or happen that have significant meaning in my life.
I think Peter's flowers are wonder. Even more wonderful, that it is not a regulat Valentine's tradition but also says, I miss you!
It must have been wonderful to hear your Mom speak and be in her world at this luncheon. I am sure you were proud!
