Closer to Fine

My sister has created a beautiful life for herself in Seattle. I treasure my too infrequent visits to her home. I always leave her space feeling refreshed. I am aware that it's not just the environment--Tammy has a down-to-earth outlook on life that calms me. It seems that I am always searching for definitive answers to the meaning of life and trying to figure out my place in it. Tammy learned a long time ago to accept and celebrate what is. When I hear the Indigo Girls singing "Closer to Fine," I always think of Tammy. It was my first and only choice to provide the background for this memory of a day in her paradise.
