Is this true for you?

Grenville Kleiser wrote
"Down deep in every human heart is a hidden longing, impulse and ambition to do something fine and enduring."

For me, I don't necessarily set out to do fine and enduring work, but I’m proud to say that some of my days are spend doing just that. Teaching, for instance. Volunteering for San Diego Watercolor Society, San Diego Brain Injury Foundation, Southern Caregiver Resource Center come to mind.
How about you?

Urn for my Ashes

Not to worry, I have no plans to use this for 30-40 years! Completed this in a workshop on Sunday. I made it from clay, fired it in a kiln, and then painted it with acrylic paint. I plan to put my directives in it, so that my loved ones know what to do when I die. You can see my friend's urns here, on Kat's blog. She created and led the workshop.
And to let my brothers and sister know where to find it--it's in the dining room.

camping

Husb and I camped overnight at San Onofre State Beach, San Mateo campgrounds, in Southern San Clemente. This tree was in our campsite.
The campground hosts, Anita and Pete, invited the orange county stargazing group to bring their giant telescopes, so about 50 campers gathered at 8pm to look at the moon and jupiter. Very fun.

It's really warm inland San Diego, so the temperature at the beach was perfect. I love the San Clemente Pier area because there's so much going on. Surfers, swimmers, people fishing off the pier, food options. Plenty of walking either the beach or the pier. Gorgeous spot!

cocktail hour in san clemente

San Mateo Campground was 1-1/2 mile hike to the beach (and coincidently, 1-1/2 miles return hike) and we walked on the beach, AND I did yoga that morning. phew. Our reward was 1/2 price cocktails overlooking the Pacific Ocean at San Clemente Beach!
