Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
Thanks, Holly.
Another peak week for me, if all goes well
Be safe. Be kind.

I'm late to the party this week. I got in 14 M today, which makes 36 for the week so far.
ETA: and 6 today makes 42 for the week. I'm at 150 for the month--tempting to go for 50 this week but I don't know if it's gonna happen.
