Opal of my Eye

IMG-4400

Lessons from my dog:

Find a quiet, sunny place to sit and just enjoy!

Jump and run even if you’re so sore afterward that you can hardly walk.

Eat with gusto and no regrets.

Forgive quickly and stay faithful.

Always go for walks and smell flowers along the way.

Naps = good; stress = what’s stress?

My daughters need to visit South Korea – their grandparents’ homeland. I think they’d love it.

Grateful for Small Moments

“Did you know that King Sejong invented the Korean alphabet?” My father asked.

“Yes, and he wanted to make it accessible to the poor, uneducated people,” I added.

“Oh! You knew that!”

Growing up as a Korean-American girl in Davenport, IA, I never dreamed that Korean food or culture would ever be popular…

I logged into a computer “bahng” in Seoul many years ago. I felt free and walking around the country of my ancestors was thrilling.

He grew up in South Korea during the Korean War. I was hoping to hear his entire story. But I am left with bits and pieces.
