Just because the title of this post is “Just because,” I’m going to share a photo I just took.

Just because my boyfriend Michael’s mother passed away yesterday, our loving neighbor Karen gave him some cookies from Lakota bakery. Just because Faxy the dog and Michael are great friends, Karen signed Faxy’s name, too.
I took these two photos yesterday, just because.


Just because a tea company tells me so, I’m going to
- live light,
- travel light,
- spread the light,
- be the light.
Just because I like to explore and share music through this blog, here are some “Just Because” songs.
Just Because, by Anita Baker:
Just Because, by Jane’s Addiction:
Just Because, by Lloyd Price:
Just Because, by Elvis Presley:
Just because we’re all mortal, all human beings share one thing in common — we’ll all die, some day. Just because I like to ask questions, what else do human beings all share, besides our mortality?
Just because I like to answer my own questions, I believe that all human beings share a need to connect. Just because I believe that, I have become a group therapist who blogs every day.
Just because, please let me know your thoughts and feelings about this post.
Thanks to all who helped me create this post and to you, just because.

Hi Ann, I am sad to hear about Michael’s Mom.
PS. Loved all the musical selections today – why you ask? – just because.
I love that you commented, SD. Why? Just because.
I am sorry to hear Michael’s loss. Spreading the light to Michael and you.
There’s more light here now, just because of your comment.
I’m sorry for Michael’s and your loss. It’s a sad thing, and the reason is not “just because” but because none of us is an island. Each loss diminishes us all. But if asked to explain why that is, if asked for proof that each of us is connected, I couldn’t. I can only say I feel it, and that I only know it to be true just because.
I can only say I feel very grateful you commented, Chris, and not just because you showed up here on the weekend.
My sincere sympathy to Michael and you, Ann.
Our sincere thanks to you, Carol.
Just because YOU wrote it we love it!
I love what YOU write!
And I am sorry for Michael’s loss..and yours. Just because I don’t know know you personally, I feel sad. Just because.
Just because you’re so great, Claudia. <3
Hugs to you and Michael, Ann. Just because. ❤️
Just-because hugs back at you, Van. <3 <3
I’m sorry for Michal’s and your loss, Ann. We do all need to live our life every day- then we will not need so many regrets later.
Just because you commented, Irene, my life is better today. <3
Good to hear Ann. Wish you a nice Sunday 🙂
So sorry to hear about Michael’s mother. 🙁
So glad to see you, Debbie. Many thanks for your kind condolences.
Reblogged this on PenneyVanderbilt.
Just because you reblogged this, I’m grateful.
Just because…The photos, the music, the quote about traveling light..this post touched my spirit and made me feel connected to Michael and you. I am sorry for the loss of his Mother. I wish you both peace at this sad time. Lori
Just because of your comment, Lori, I feel connected to you and I feel better. Many thanks.
It is so nice when our thoughts and feelings align across the blogosphere. Lori
Sorry to hear of Michael’s loss. I lost my mom over 20 years ago and it still feels like it happened yesterday. Any loss is difficult but losing your mom is especially hard. It certainly was for me. Sending my love and support to you both.
Sending love and support back to you, Carol. <3
Just because… there is love here 💕
Just because … of the love you bring! <3
That’s sad – sorry to hear that even though I don’t ‘know’ you. But maybe that is something we all share in common – sadness at the death of anyone – whoever they are. Thanks you for the music clips – when I was playing the Jane’s Addiction one – it brought my husband rushing into my office yelling, ‘I’ve got that album!’ That’s why I love your posts…just because they are full of little surprises and smiles.
Just because you wrote this, Gilly, I feel better now.
