Hello LLL!!

Great to “see” you here! Congratulations on completing your degree in Occupational Therapy!! I remember when you were just starting out. Five and a half years is a long time – kudos to you for sticking with it. And as nice as a pink football is, a degree is even better! 😉

I’m so glad that you’re enjoying the blog – I’m having lots of fun with it. I’m sure that there will be more posts about Lulu – she is quite the character, after all.

Stop by again any time!!

Totally digging the pics, and would love more Lucy stories. (Did you ever read John Carroll? He wrote columns about his cat, Bucket, from time to time.)

I’ve really been enjoying your blog, and this one is my current favorite. (Okay, whichever one I’m currently reading is my favorite of that moment…) The first picture really spoke to me, because my pink football is like Wy’s. Keeping going was hard, but I am finally a collij gradjit! I have my Master of Science in Occupational Therapy after five and a half years as a full-time student (and anybody who comments on how it must have flown by is just delusional).

Now I’m studying for the national board exam, and anticipating allowing humiliation in the form of groups of kids, like the column I read just before this one. It’s so good to be reminded that days like that are part of the process just as much as the really stellar days are.

Thanks for writing this superb blog.

Muchos huggos,
LLL

Hi Jo,

What a wonderful gift to share with the world – music and words, shaped into something fabulous. Your song was totally rockin’, by the way. Lucy could never pull something off like that. Not unless there was a LOT of catnip involved. 😉

Hi Wy!

Congratulations!! Graduating from SSU is a huge pink football. And unlike Lucy, you get a diploma and everything. Looking forward to celebrating with you!

Lucy is dope! My pink football is graduating from SSU. Now I know a lot of people graduate from college, but for me this one is the pink football. I put it off for over 25 years, but after reading “Excuses Begone” by one of my favorite teachers, Wayne Dyer, I went back to school. On May 12 I will have finally dropped that pink football at the foot of the bed! Yeah, baby, lets do the happy dance! BTW I’m having a killer party and all my choir peeps are invited! Let’s party!!! Thanks for another awesome post! You rock! XO Wy,

It was uncanny. My own pink football is pulling some words and notes out of the universe, adding a few chords, and having the AUDACITY to hand this thing called “music” to some real musicians, sit back, and listen to them bring life to it in our upcoming concert. I mean, how amazing is that? Like Lucy, I’d love to do that over and over again, just for the sheer joy of the experience. Unlike Lucy, I don’t leave music on the end of anyone’s bed.

Hi Thea,

That’s the spirit! Just keep on truckin, like Lucy and her football.

I tried to check out your site, but the link was an email, not a url. Look forward to seeing it in the future!
