Moments to Live By

It's July, but it's only barely summer. Mornings can be cloudy, afternoons uncomfortably hot. It goes to show you never can tell what the day will hold. The Riouxs have a saying: When life blows you raspberries, pop them in your mouth. Or put them in your drink and propose a toast to the sweetness of having someone to clink your glass with. If they're sour, squish up your face and reach for another off the bush. Hold the ripe ones on your tongue.
