Favorite Mary Oliver quotes ...

"Instructions for living a life
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it."

"Sometimes I need
only to stand
wherever I am
to be blessed"

"Keep room in your heart for the unimaginable"

"I believe in kindness. Also in mischief.  Also in singing, especially when singing is not necessarily prescribed"

There is also a poem that Mary Oliver wrote called "The Journey" and I absolutely fell in love with it.  You should read it sometime. 

We've had a couple of storms the past couple of days and they are calling for another one tonight.  Yesterday I got to work at the American Garden theatre and listen to "Hotel California" which is a tribute to the Eagles.  It was a lot of fun even though the sky dumped a bucket of rain on us.  The guests were in good spirits about it and continued to have a great time.  I have Sunday off so I'm looking forward to really lazing about, especially if it's raining!

from Florida with love,
Jilly
