Though I don’t use Facebook these days, they send me memories which sometimes prompt me to look to see what I posted on this day in 2017, nine years ago.

I wrote:  Last night the word of the day in my Toastmasters club was Ataraxia, which means “a state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety”. Ataraxia is tranquility. On Wikipedia I learn that the word is a Greek term and was used to describe the ideal mental state for sending troops into battle.  It seems the perfect word for these days.

The Presidio in San Francisco where cannons rest in peace
The Golden Gate Bridge and a slice of the Children’s Playground
Play structure for children to play inside
Another meant to enclose and climb
