Tuesday in the Tropics.

So here it is Tuesday, July 12th.

The Sun is up and out @full blast

with temperature in @81 degrees

and it's just now, 7 AM.

Ah, the thrill of slaying some dragons

in the sweltering heat, just fires up my

imagination, NOT!!!

Seriously though, I've got a list of things

to accomplish and am determined to go

with the flow.

Yesterday was a learning lesson in patience

and perseverance, to say the least.

Happy to report I am now officially certified

to operate as an Artist Studio by the City of

Miami and The Dade County Department of

Environmental Resource Management.

What a joke too. I mean really, the inept

bureaucratic process is ridiculous.

Consider the fact that an entire high rise office

building is devoted to housing County and City

paid employees to sit at their desks and process

whatever?

No instructive signage visible to someone visiting

for the first time and no one very forth coming in

advising one how to proceed.

Let's just say I am grateful that this is now behind

me.

Surely now that I have complied with the City's

requirements, Miami is a safer, better place to

live and the $800.00 dollars in fees is making

the City's coffers richer.

Today promises to be good.

Little in the way of pressure and deadlines,

I consider myself a lucky lady.

Tonight I look forward to GNO (Girls Night Out)

with my favorite playmates, 5 yr. old Taylor, her

maternal Grandmother and our friend Susan V.

Am feeling grateful too, that no Hurricanes are

forming @this time and that the A/C in our building

is working.

Happy to be getting a blog post in, as well.

So to anyone reading this post, my self included,

I'm wishing us all a peaceful and productive day.

Surely some surprises await me.

Tune in tomorrow for the post mortem.

Remember to pass it forward.

Make a difference in someone's life today.

Life is good.
